[SOLVED] adding variables

[chocopi]

ok i would like to have a script where a variable is set a value and when something is done it is added to or taken away from.

 

<?php

$errors = 0;

if ( strlen($username) > 5)
{
	echo ("Your username must be longer than 5 characters. <br />");
	$errors = ++1;
}

?>

 

This doesnt work so i was wondering what changed i would need to do.

 

Cheers,

It should be $errors++

[pocobueno1388]

<?php

$errors = 0;

if ( strlen($username) > 5)
{
	echo ("Your username must be longer than 5 characters. <br />");
	$errors += 1;
}

?>

 

Try that

[chigley]

<?php

$errors = 0;

if ( strlen($username) < 5)
{
	echo ("Your username must be longer than 5 characters. <br />");
	$errors++;
}

?>

 

You had your < the wrong way round, and I've changed the code to add one
