[SOLVED] password validation

[chocopi]

for some reason my validation keeps coming back as incorrect when it isnt. this is the code thats giving the problem:

 

if ($raw_password < 5){
echo ("Your password must be greater than 5 characters.");
require_once ('page_footer.php');
die ("");
}

 

The code keeps returning 'Your password must be greater than 5 characters.' even if i have typed in 20 characters

 

Any help would be appeciated,

<?php

if (strlen($raw_password) < 5) {
echo ("Your password must be greater than 5 characters.");
require_once ('page_footer.php');
die ("");
}

?>
