 Posted: Sun Sep 26, 2004 4:20 pm Post subject: length validation error |
 |
|
the following elseif statement is triggered for any combination of letters, and will only work if more than 1 number is entered:
| Code: | elseif ($_POST['password'] <5) {
$_SESSION['error']='your password is too short. Please try again!';
header("Location: account.php?action=register&process=password");
} |
I need this if statement to be triggered only if the $_POST['password'] variable contains less than 5 characters.
thanks in advance

I think you setup your ifelse wrong , try this example here.
| Code: |
<?php
if ($_POST['password'] < 5) {
$_SESSION['error']='your password is too short. Please try again!';
}else{
header("Location: account.php?action=register&process=password");
}
?>

thanks for all the advice, but this is what I've found that works instead:
| Code: | elseif (strlen($_POST['password']) <5) {
$_SESSION['error']='your password is too short. Please try again!';
header("Location: account.php?action=register&process=password");
} |
