Your bug is this: inconsistency of types.
You split a formatted string into smaller strings and compare the integers to it. In order to do this correctly, you will need to take your integers and convert them into the strings, format of which you already know and used for deformatting the original string. Then compare. That is the only way to be safe, other ways are "magic" because PHP debugged them for you. It's really all about the programming logic. few of you who are fluent with C or Java would dump into this. -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Scott Fletcher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote... : > Found a PHP bug, I'm using PHP version 4.2.3.
