Hi. With substr_compare, the prototype should say ...
int substr_compare ( string $main_str , string $str , int $offset [, int $length = max(strlen($str), strlen($main_str) - $offset) [, bool $case_insensitivity = false ]] ) which looks a little complex, even when styled appropriately. I think something like ... int substr_compare ( string $main_str , string $str , int $offset [, int $length = see below [, bool $case_insensitivity = false ]] ) and ... "The length of the comparison. The default value is the largest of the length of the str compared to the length of main_str less the offset. " for the $length parameter description may be easier. Ideas? This is related to bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50983 Regards, Richard. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
