so basicly i want only the first 2 characters of a variable and chop of the rest.
know what im talking about,
like Alabama becomes AL, or Idaho ID, so if you know something to capitalize them aswell it would be even better.

I believe i've told you this before, but use php.net, it has answers to all the questions you can think to ask (don't ask me how, just take my word).
http://php.net/manua...tion.substr.php
http://php.net/manua....strtoupper.php

Also note, since i'm assuming you're using this to get state abbreviations, how would you do New Jersey/New York?

Guide to php.net

If you're looking for some sort of string modification, look for things that have "str" in them.

If you want to do something with array's. Search for "array" and then find the array() function on that page, click the link. Look in the left hand nav for everything you can do to arrays.

Same concept for everything else (i.e. for anything dealing with an image, search for "image" and work fromt here).
