You're welcome.

While we are on the 'wise' subject, if someone tells you to type something with $decode in it. Don't do it.
That's not wise.

However, if you wan't to know what it does, they'll tell you to put //say $encode|$decode() so just do the complete opposite and echo it to yourself.
I know all about that, about 3 years ago I must have been coming up to 15 i typed a decoded message and it sent a message to everyone telling them to type the same thing I did and it went around the whole network. I didn't actually know how to stop it. So ya, there's my past experience, try and avoid $encode|$decode.
Stay wise!
