With a moment of studying to your comment, I am beginning to see why I am having the problem. I add the 9 in the first two lines of code, so I didn't realize that I would have encounter the problem if I didn't add the 9. Well, I seem to have problem understanding the word, 'offset' to the strpos() function because it is a bad choice of word but that is understandable when I use this function the first time and not understand it. Thanks for the clarification...
