Got it... Are there always going to be X digits in the code? If so, this would work. <? $purchitem[0] = 1; $purchitem[1] = 3; $purchitem[2] = 4; $mask = ''; $length = 5; $y = 0; for($x=1;$x<$length+1;$x++) { if(@$purchitem[$y] == $x) { $mask .= '1'; $y++; } else { $mask .= '0'; } } echo $mask; ?> ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
