[SOLVED] STRLEN Outputting Strangely

[Jiblob]

Hello,

 

I wish to have the verification for my form in in the following form: -

 

if (!$blah) {
   echo "ERROR!";
}
else
{
   echo "FINE!";
}

 

... everything was fine, but then i put used a strlen(); to test that a string is NOT more than or equal to 25, so take this code for instance: -

 

<?php
$var = "111111111111111111111111111111"; // 30 Chars Long Var
if ((!strlen($var) <= 25)) {
echo "Error";
}
else
{
echo "Fine";
}
?>

 

For some reason it tells me that there is an error at any length, when it's only supposed say there is an error if it is over 25 characters in length.

 

Help ???

Your logic is a bit reversed. What you want is if( strlen($var)>=25 )

 

Your code above would be correct if the ! was moved: if( !(strlen($var) <= 25) )

Thanks for the help ShogunWarrior, however, I did not fix it like this.  I was stupid really, there was no need for the !strlen "NOT MORE THAN OR EQUAL TO 25", because this is just equivalent to strlen "MORE THAN 25".

 

Silly me! haha
