help with add user

[chris_rulez001]

i have made my own add user script and i need some help with the password bit, i want to be able to check if confirm password is the same as password, and i would also like to check if the email has a @ symbol in it.

 

my code:

 

<?php
  $email = $_POST['email'] ;
  $first = $_POST['nameFirst'] ;
  $last = $_POST['nameLast'] ;
  $username = $_POST['username'] ;
  $password = $_POST['password'] ;
  $cpassword = $_POST['cpassword'] ;
  $age = $_POST['age'] ;
  $gender = $_POST['gender'] ;
  $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 

  if ($first == "") {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your first name<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($last == "") {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your last name<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($username == "") {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your username<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($password == "") {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your password<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($cpassword == $password") {
    echo "Error: You havent confirmed your password properly<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($email == "") {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your email<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($age == "" || $age < 13) {
    echo "Error: You must be 13 or over to join<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($age == "Age (e.g. 14)") {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your age<br/><br/>";
  }
  elseif ($gender == "" || $gender != "Male" || $gender != "male" || $gender != "female" || $gender != "Female" ) {
    echo "Error: You havent entered your gender<br/><br/>";
  }
  else {
  include ('includes/mysql_connect_users');
  $mysqlinsert="INSERT INTO users(username, password, email, firstname, lastname, age, gender, ip)VALUES('$username', '$password', '$email', '$first', '$last', '$age', '$gender', '$ip')";
  
  $result2=mysql_query($mysqlinsert);

if($result2){
echo "<div align='center'><h4><strong><u>Write This Information Down</u></strong></h4><br/><br/>";
echo "<u><strong>Your Login Information</strong></u><br/><br/>";
echo "Your Registered Username:".$username."<br/><br/>";
echo "Your Registered Password:".$password."<br/><br/><br/>";
echo "<u><strong>Other Information</strong></u><br/><br/>";
echo "Your Registered Name Is:".$first. $last."<br/><br/>";
echo "Your Registered Email:".$email."<br/><br/>";
echo "Your Registered Age:".$age."<br/><br/>";
echo "Your Registered Gender:".$gender."<br/><br/><br/><br/>";
echo "You Are Successfully Registered,";
echo "Click <a href='index.php'>Here</a>";
echo "To Return To The Homepage";
}
}
?>

 

can someone help?

For password and confirm password checking u can use password===confirmpassword.

 

For email checking you have to use some regular expression with the characters that u are expecting in email.

im sorry but i dont quite understand what you mean

[Nhoj]

if (strpos($email, "@") === FALSE || strpos($email, ".") === FALSE) {
echo 'Sorry, but you must enter a valid e-mail.';
}

Please try with this line

 

elseif ($cpassword != $password) 

 

print your error message

if you take note of your syntax highlighting in the code you posted above you'll probably notice something that could be part of the problem...

 

You are missing a quotation mark - just to kind of help you find it easier.  See what you find from there

 

good luck

ok, thanks for your help
