I would probably use strstr() if I didn't need the other sections, or, if I needed the other sections for later, I'd use explode: $your_string = 'CN=NTPRTPS3-LANIER-LD335c-LH107-PPRNP9A92,OU=XXXXXXXXXXf,OU=XXXXXXXXXX,OU=XXXXXXXXXXXXX,DC=xxxxxxxx,DC=xxxxxxxxxx,DC=xxx,'; echo strstr($haystack = $your_string, $needle = ',', $before_needle = true); if ($sections = explode($delimiter = ',', $string = $your_string)) echo current($sections); Adam -- Nephtali: PHP web framework that functions beautifully http://nephtaliproject.com
