[SOLVED] If person does enter more than [x] characters, it will not work

[Cless]

Hello,

 

How is it possible to make it so, on a registration form, if someone doesn't enter a required amount of characters, it makes it so they can't continue to Register (they must try again)?

 

Thanks.

You could use the script like

 

if(strlen($_POST['username']) <= 5) {echo "You must enter at least 5 characters for the username";} else {

if(strlen($_POST['password']) <= 5) {echo "You must enter at least 5 characters for the password";} else {

 

continue registration; }}

 

or if you want the same error for each one,

 

if(strlen($_POST['username']) <= 5 || strlen($_POSt['password']) <= 5) {echo "There is a problem with registation";} else {

continue script;

 

}

Ah, so that's what strlen can be used for. My friend and I thought it had barely any point.

 

Hmm, I'll try it, metrostars. Thanks.

 

Awesome. It worked perfectly. Thank you. Solved.
