why don't you force the case using something like strtolower() when evaluating any condition

[code]
<?php
if(strtolower($var1) == strtolower($var2)) {
  //match
} else {
  //no match
}
?>
[/code]

yes i can, i was wondering if there was a particular function tho :)

thanks!

You can do this with regular expressions

for example:
[code]
'/(?i)[a-z]\d[a-z]/'
[/code]
Pattern matches a2B, A2B, a2b etc
