Currently, my "Mailed" function, which when you sign up, checks if your username, is less than 5, if it is, it sets a boolean to false, and at the end I have if (Bool[1] && Bool[2] == true) and so on...

so it wont go through, IF... that doesn't check out properly...

However... the only 3 out of 6, that show up are

Username is too short
Password too short
Confirm Password too short

BUT, even if they're 5 characters or more, it still shows!
it should be

Username is too short
Password is too short
Confirm Password is too short
Passwords do not match
Emails do not match
Terms and Conditions box has not been ticked

if anyone can tell me why this is happening, I'll greatly appreciate it... Considering some how it just stopped working (was working before O_O, and i didnt change anything I dont think!)

$username = (isset($_POST['username']));  ----> this will either give you 0 or 1. so it'll always be less than 5
[/quote]


That goes for all these:

$pw1 = (isset($_POST['password1']));
$pw2 = (isset($_POST['password2']));
$em1 = (isset($_POST['email1']));
$em2 = (isset($_POST['email2']));

hmm

But if I do

$username = $_POST['username'] I get the error

"Undefined index 'username'"

and, if I also had the problem doing it like this

if (isset($_POST['username']))
    {
    $username=$_POST['username'];
    }

still was always less than 5, but thanks I see why thats happen, any idea's how to fix it

Are you looking at this page with out posting? This includes when you did have the [quote]$username = $_POST['username'] I get the error

"Undefined index 'username'"[/quote] Notice... Also I'm pretty sure "Undefined index '*'" are notices not errors and will not change how your script is run. Try changing your php.ini. The normal, best way to have the set up is

[quote]error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE[/quote]

E_NOTICE is so annoying, it displays notices for everything.

I would recommend that you do have notices logged though. In case there is a time that you need to know something like this. :)

This code you have in your last post is correct:

[code=php:0]if (isset($_POST['username']))
    {
    $username=$_POST['username'];
    }[/code]


Then strlen($username) will only be less than 5 if the username really is less than 5 characters long.

Well... sorry to double post
[code]
if (isset($_POST['username']))
    {
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    if (strlen($username) < 5)
        {
        $bool[1]=false;
        echo '<font color="blue" size="4">Error:</font><font color="blue" size="3"><i> Your username must be no less then 5 characters long.<br /></i></font>';
        }
    }[/code]

is the code I used on username, and it just stopped appearing all together...

also

Mythic, this isn't  hard script to write, and it seems like you are coding an online-based word game.
If you're having trouble with the sign up form, you'll surely have trouble coding your game.
Perhaps you should buy a php book and read it from first to last page. even if the material isn't related to what you are doing....it will give you a huge jumpstart

[code=php:0]
<?PHP
$username = (isset($_POST['username'])) ? $_POST['username'] : '';
$pw1 = (isset($_POST['password1'])) ? $_POST['password1'] : '';
$pw2 = (isset($_POST['password2'])) ? $_POST['password2'] : '';
$em1 = (isset($_POST['email1'])) ? $_POST['email1'] : '';
$em2 = (isset($_POST['email2'])) ? $_POST['email2'] : '';
?>
[/code]

Is equivalent to writing:

[code=php:0]
<?PHP
if(isset($_POST['username'])) {
  $username = $_POST['username'];
}
else {
  $username = '';
}
?>
[/code]

I hope that helps.
