There you see. It was the HTML.

Richard, why does the error occur only with IE when the dump was the same for both browsers? Just trying to learn a bit here.

You were right too, "meow". Thank you both very much.

In regards to trim(), Rich - I AM using it: before going into the loop, I say:

$value = trim( $value );

I think it only trims trailing spaces, though. Let me check the PHP manual again.

> why does the error occur only with IE

I'm not convinced that was the case. Having that default value of   introduced some potential for inconsistency, then using a function that relies on a particular schema to be present in a string, where even if the input string is correct (not-with-standing spaces), the mechanism can potentially fail. I think that looking for the existence of the string in the other string would probably be a better approach. Though, I don't know the specifics of this project so I can't say for sure. If that is the case, that would be done with strstr() or stristr(). http://www.php.net/strstr and http://www.php.net/stristr. The latter is case-insensitive.

> I AM using it: before going into the loop, I say $value = trim( $value );

If you're doing it *before* the loop, then you aren't trimming the value. $value is set with each iteration of the foreach loop, so that statement must appear inside of the loop for it to work.
