I didn't realize that those were single quotes.  I printed out the
email message and it looked like one set of double quotes for the
second parameter rather the two single quotes.

Is it possible for anyone to tell me what php method is used to grab
the first charater of a string?  And onece I have it what method
removes the characted or number?

I know this seems trivial but I am still new to php and I don't have a
good understanding of the language yet.  The more I do the better I'll
get.

Thanks
Paul

check out this page of the php manual for a few ideas. See the section
String access and modification by character

Chuck, you are the man! I decided to reread the manual word for word but 
have only gotten through Strings as of last night. Thanks for zeroing me in 
on the right spot.

When I tried to run this, PHP treated the word  -include- as a control 
structure rather than an index name. Understandable. So, I put it in 
single quotes  ('include') to see what would happen and it works fine. But 
I don't understand why!

What is the difference between $content_row [include] and 
$content_row['include']? I have been unable to resolve this question in 
the php manual, I need enlightenment.

 Integrity is obvious.
 The lack of it is common.
