Hi Sarah,
3D does in fact mean the equals sign (=). A better way of saying it is: 0x3D is the hex representation of an equals (=) sign. Here is a hex chart for reference (3 is on the left edge, D along the top edge) http://www-atm.physics.ox.ac.uk/user/iwi/charmap.html Cheers, Keith. --- In [email protected], Sarah Foxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi there > > Im trying to match with a preg match.. > > The phrase I want to look for is :- > > pass ..(text).. 4+2=7 > > im using this code :- > > > if (preg_match("/^\s*pass:.*4\+2\=7/i", $value)){ > > > > I send an email to the system... with the line :- > > pass: Pizza Words 4+2=7 Batman himp > > HOWEVER - my log reports show the received line as > showing :- > > pass: Pizza Words 4+2=3D7 Batman himp > > (just random words) > > QUERY - What is this "3D" thing - as I did NOT put 3D > into the text of my email... > > If its a software thing from the (web-based) email > server i used to send.. - Is there a fool-proof way of > detecting this (aswell as other codes - I'll assume > there are some) - > > & also to convert the codes to the propper (original) > text.... > > I'm Baffled... > > Ps - Sometimes it does work (from another email > server/host) > > S Fox > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
