in reply to string mis-match?

My guess is that the SOAP data comes in a different encoding than your stored password. You will need to be explicit in your encoding, that is, use \N{...} notation for Unicode characters, and you need to decode the data you receive from SOAP (if your SOAP module of choice hasn't done so already).

    My knowledge has taken me this far. But I don't know what encoding SOAP is using - as I saod, it works fine for "normal" characters, it's them pesky £ & € signs that are causing issues

    I have tried all I can think of to highlight whatever it is that "$str1 eq $str2" is carping about and I've run out of ideas. Hence my post :-(
