Problem with strlen

[Mix1988]

Hey, been messing with one simple thing for hours

 

What is wrong with my code? Idea is to check if string length equals 17 before mysql query.

 

This is not full code, but the problem is here i am sure, it just loads blank page.

 

<?php }
if(isset($_POST['textfield']) && (strlen($_POST['textfield'])= 17)){
$uusvin = $_POST['textfield'];
mysql_query("UPDATE autod SET vin = $uusvin WHERE number = '$a'");
header("Location: infotest.php?search=$a");
Exit;
}else{
echo "length is wrong";
die();
}
?>

 

It just loads blank page

= is the assignment operator

 

== is the comparison operator

 

Turn error reporting on

Why do you have a closing bracket after your opening <?php

 

Your code:

<?php }
