What if you want to alter the case of the data or use it a basis for sending e-mail or check it against another string via regular expression? Sure, if you just want to read them and echo them back in the form of a table you don't need mbstring. It also seems to me that if you are going to be multibyte inputs you'd have either iconv or mbstring extension enabled. Ilia
