[SOLVED] php code not working (simple compare)

[Distant_storm]

Ok I have a captcha which stored the word in a session, although it is to be md5'vd but becuase i was having errors i took that out. so anyway i do this

if ($_POST['cap'] != $_SESSION['cap_stored']) {

echo "The input did not match<Br />Captcha word entered: " . $_POST['cap'] . "capatcha word stored: " . $_SESSION['cap_stored'];


}

now the session is started correctly and the output values are identical no leading or trailing spaces. What could be the error here

try

if ($_SESSION['cap_stored'] != $_POST['cap'])

 

if that doesnt work, then they must not be the same.... or you have a variable misspelled

Without seeing all the code, its hard to tell if you started the sessions or not.
