Hi Jeremy,
I tried if ( strcmp( trim($SollKombination), trim($formCheck) ) )

same negativ result. For some reason both strings are not considered to be the same.
They have the same length, are of the same type and have the same content. Why PHP
doesn't recognize them as beeing equal.... I don't get it.

thanks for your help so far
