need help in strlen() function

[doforumda]

i having a problem with strlen(). in the following code when i type more than 20 characters and less than 200 then it still display an error in else statement. what am i doing wrong in this code?

<?php
	$msg = strip_tags($_POST['msg']);
	if(strlen($msg)<=20 && strlen($msg)>=200)
	{
		echo "Message is fine";
	}
	else
		die("The message is too long or too short.");
	}
?>

You have it backwards..

 

if(strlen($msg)>=20 && strlen($msg)<=200)

[sw0o0sh]

Try

 

if(strlen($msg) < 20 || strlen($msg) > 200){

//fail

} else{

//good

}

do mean, if #msg is grater then 20 and less then 200 then show fine message else show long message?

if yes then use this code

$msg = strip_tags($_POST['msg']);
if((strlen($msg)>=20) && (strlen($msg)<=200))
{
echo "Message is fine";
}
else{
die("The message is too long or too short.");
}

or

 

if(((((((strlen($msg)>=20)))))) && ((((((strlen($msg)<=200)))))))

Another one

<?php

$chars = "abcdefgh";

if(in_array(strlen($chars),range(20,200))){
  echo "OK - between 20 - 200 chars";
}
else{
  echo "Fail - too low or too high";
}

?>
