PHP Validation

[pranshu82202]

I have a form validation script which is written in php..

 

I want to add a validation (in registration form) that if the desired username contains either admin or owner keyword user will have to change his user name..

 

I made the following code but it does not work..

 

if(strpos($user_name, "admin")>=0 || strpos($user_name, "moderator")>=0 || strpos($user_name, "owner")>=0)

{

$error=$error."You are not allowed to take such Username<br>";

$bool=false;

 

}

 

 

In this code i am not able to enter any username..

 

And if i change >= to > then "admin123" username is going to be valid...

 

I am troubled .... help me out guyzzz

You'll want to check strpos() returns false. Instead of >=0 use === false

[Muddy_Funster]

I think you actualy want === true for that check

Use stristr

if(strpos($user_name, "admin")!== false || strpos($user_name, "moderator")!== false || strpos($user_name, "owner")!== false)
