Hey Matt......you would use the substr function for this...for example: $stuff = the number you're checking.. $fnum = substr($stuff, 0, 1)
and $fnum is the first number (as a string) from $stuff =) - Tim -- >From PHPGalaxy.com, earn up to $10 per order selling our PHP Scripts and Software on your Site. http://www.phpgalaxy.com/aff/ Also, get a fast free POP3 email account, you @php.la at http://www.phpgalaxy.com/search/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
