If I understand you, calling the function like so : /**/ $value1 = "coffee"; $value2 = "coffee pots"; $returned = estrstr($value1, $value2); /**/ returns the string "coffee". Well, I just ran that exact piece of code you see above, and received the expected NULL value. I don't see how you are getting what you are getting. If, one the other hand, you are searching for value "coffee" expecting to get back only "coffee pots," then you misunderstand how the function works. Hope this helps, Scott -----Original Message----- From: Mike [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 3:11 PM To: PHP List Subject: Drawing checkboxes Hello, I am having a hard time figuring this one out, maybe someone here (with fresh eyes) can offer a suggestion? Here is the function... // Draw Checkbox Menu function draw_checkbox_menu($name, $values, $default = false, $parameters = false) { for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($values); $i++) { $field .= '<input type="checkbox" name="'.$name.'" value="' . $values[$i]['id'] . '"'; if(strstr($default, $values[$i]['id'])) { $field .= ' CHECKED'; } $field .= '> ' . $values[$i]['text'] . '<br> '; } return $field; } This function is passed the name of the checkbox list($name), the values that are available($values = array) along with the ones that should be checked ($default). Parameters too , but not important. The problem is this. The Values are formatted like this... value1|value2|value3...etc... I use the strstr() function to check against the $default so I can check it if so. Well it works great..BUT, lets say the product has a category of "Coffee Pots", but the one of the values available is "Coffee". In this case both "Coffee" AND "Coffee Pots" get checked when only "Coffee Pots" should. What can I do to this function eliminate this?
