That was my fall-back position, but since I heard somewhere that it is a bad idea, I'll do the PHP equivalent of STRTRAN. I was hoping to be able to pull this out in pure SQL rather than custom-do it. I thought someone might have had a MySQL function or trick that I hadn't found. This is just a little do moronic trap I built for myself. I hate it when I do that. Now I need to claw myself out of it.
