Use something like:
$l = strlen($input);
for ($i = 0; $i < $l; $i++){
echo "$i: $input[$i] (", ord($input[$i]), ")\n";
}
to see what you're getting.
Richard:
As usual, you are exactly right.
I found that somehow a gremlin had crept in -- I still don't
understand how, but it did. So, I stepped through the string similar
to what you did and replaced everything that wasn't supposed to be
there.
Interesting that making a text file with the string and looking at it
via a Hex Editor, I found that the gremlin was a 0A (new line), but
when it was on the server, it was two characters ("High" ASCII
194/160) -- very strange.
In any event, I fixed it. I didn't have the time to run down why.
Thanks,
tedd

Re: [PHP] Unix date (even more bazaar)
Yeah, and to what bazaar are you going, old man? Look, I'm so loopy right now, I'm top-posting. How bizarre Ohhh, I hate it when that happens -- but, I have had even more embarrassing moments. As to the problem I posted about strings being different, it was a gremlin I found in the string. A hex edit of the file showed that the space between the date and time, which should have been a space (20) was actually a new line (0A) character. Oh well, at least I found it.
