Yep. The modulus operator (%). Your number mod 2 will be 1 if it is odd and 0 if it is even. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php if ($your_number % 2) { echo 'odd'; } else { echo 'even'; } - Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
