[SOLVED] Password match?

[onthespot]

/* Password error checking */

      $field = "pass";  //Use field name for password

  $field2 = "pass2"; // Second field for password

      if(!$subpass2){

        $form->setError($field2, "* Password not entered");

      }

      else{

 

    //Check passwords match

$subpass = stripslashes($subpass);

      $subpass2 = stripslashes($subpass2);

        if($subpass$subpass2){

            $form->setError($field, "* Passwords does not match");

        }

 

This is the code for matching passwords on registration. The line    if($subpass$subpass2){    seems to be creating a parse error.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it's because you are missing an operator in there?

If i am trying to match them, which operator would it be? I considered && or = and that didnt work, still got the "passwords dont match" error, this is the final part to the code and its killing me!

that's because && is the 'and' operator, meaning "this and this" and = is the assignment operator.

you need to use double equals or triple if you're trying to match data type also.

 

== or ===

if you use single equals you're setting the value instead of comparing it.

Change:

 

if($subpass1$subpass2) {

 

To:

 

if($subpass1 !== $subpass2) {

 

== means "is equal to", but the ! before it means "not", so it makes "is not equal to".

 

Read up on operators more though.

Ok thankyou, much appreciated. I had a book I was looking into, an I did consider using == and ! but the ! before $subpass. Wouldn't have been correct, i shal try this, thankyou.
