Okay that was quicker than I thought. Here's the code to find the nth
occurrance of a string within a string:
function strnpos($string, $search, $nth) {
$count = 0;
$len = strlen($string);
$slen = strlen($search);
for ($i = 0; $i $len; $i++) {
if (($i + $slen) $len) { return FALSE; }
Mike,
Thanks for your input on this. I'm getting better at php, but it does take

Thanks again,
Hugh
