Hmm after all this time, are you saying its best to use === instead of == in any application ? [/snip] For strings, yes. And you should also re-order the question ... if("NFH" === $EA) Why, you ask? Because this will prevent possible assignment errors. If you accidentally type if($EA = "NFH") NFH gets assigned to $EA and is true...you might not see the error until quite a bit later. However if you accidentally type if("NFH" = $EA) an error will get thrown right away. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
