<DIV><SPAN class=656322309-05052006>I'm a newcomer to the site so please forgive
me if I post messages incorrectly (and please tell me how to do it
properly!)</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656322309-05052006>Am I missing something obvious, or can you

could be combined with the function is_numeric() to do the validation on user
input that you need.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=656322309-05052006></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=656322309-05052006>I hope this helps</SPAN></DIV>
