[thelist] php question revisited

[Dan McCullough]

By looking at the small snippet  I would say that works, would work
for me.  however I dont know what you are passing and if the
$category->nicename would equal $current.  if $current = name and 
$category->nicename = Name, that would cause it to NOT be true, so
there could be a problem with that, in which case you can either live
with that, Name being different from name, or you can evaluate the
string after running it through something like strtoupper to make the
string all upper case and if the string is more then one word you
coudl remove the white spaces to make it a long string, not sure how
picky or exact you want to be.
