error in php register script

[trektech]

hey guys i have an error in my php script. when i load it up in the browser i get this error.

 

Parse error: parse error in C:\xampp\htdocs\php website\register.php on line 83

 

and i looked on line 83 and heres what i put

 

$range2 = (1,64);

 

 

what could possibly be wrong?

 

 

[PFMaBiSmAd]

That line of code is an assignment statement and (1,64) is meaningless in an assignment statement. What exactly are you trying to do?

[Andy-H]

$range2 = rand(1, 64);
// or 
$range2 = range(1,64);
// ???

if($_POST['submit']){
 echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n";

}

?>

 

their might be more than that error in there but I'm bad at php. can you sort out my problem now?

 

[Andy-H]

I think you mean to use,

 

if ( strLen($name) < 3 || strLen($name) > 64 )
{
   $errors =  'Username can only be 3-64 characters (inclusive).';
}
else
{

 

//Edit.

 

Also your errors are simply being assigned to a single string value, if you wish to use them like that you need to do something like this:

 

if ( strLen($name) < 3 || strLen($name) > 64 )
{
   $errors[] =  'Username can only be 3-64 characters (inclusive).';
}

   if ( count ($errors) > 0 )
   {
      forEach ( $errors As $err )
      {
         echo '<span style="color: #ff0000;">' . $err . '</span><br >';
      }
   }
