[SOLVED] strlen()

[wrathican]

i have a problem while using this.

i have a user registration form and im checking to see if the password is 6 or more characters long. this is what im using:

$passlen = strlen($password);

if ((checkString($password) == true) || ($passlen <= 5)) {
	$_SESSION['errorstate'] = 1;
	$errorarray[] = "Password is invalid";
}

if ($_SESSION['errorstate'] == 1) {
	$_SESSION['errormessage'] = $errorarray;
	header('location: ../register.php');
}

 

it doesnt seem to be setting the session and there fore not redirecting accordingly. any idea why?

oh, you need to add this to the top of the page:

<?php
session_start();

Last one, then I'm off to bed. Honestly.........

<?php

$passlen = strlen($password);

if (checkString($password) == true || $passlen <= 5 ){
	$_SESSION['errorstate'] = 1;
	$errorarray[] = "Password is invalid";
}

if ($_SESSION['errorstate'] == 1) {
	$_SESSION['errormessage'] = $errorarray;
	header('location: ../register.php');
}

hmm, that still doesnt work. im so confused. but thanks for the replies!

[wrathican]

ok so i split the if statement up into two others and now it works. i dunno what was happening.

 

thanks for your help anyway!

Try:

if((checkOne($_statement)) || (checkTwo($_statement)))
