What does the script produce and what did you expect? We need more info to be able to help you
 [1999-09-04 18:41 UTC] riffraff at cvs dot php dot net 
remember, that file() leaves the '\n''s at the end of the string!
so if garbagewords.txt contains:
riff
raff
$gar[0] is "riff\n" and $gar[1] is "raff\n", which isn't
equal to "riff" or "raff".
see manual of chop() to solve your problem.
also notice, that if $a and $b are strings and $a=$b, than
strlen($a)=strlen($b). you haven't to check it explicitelly.
if this wasn't your problem, write me or report another bug.
