Hello there.

This is, I think, a very basic question, but since I'm a newbie this sort of thing doesn't bother me...

I need a script to ignore the case used by a user in a form field. How can I do that? I only have a wild guess here: I'll need to use tr right?

So, let's assume that I've called that user entry $foo in my script (pretty original huh?)

How do I make $foo case insensitive to the script, so if the user types "Test" or "TeSt" or "test" or "TEST" doesn't make a difference to the script?

Tx in advance,
