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.
