validating < 18 and <2 characters

[mellowmuppet]

I dont know if anyone here is familiar with link directories and stuff like that but they always have a little script that stops you fom inputting less than say 3 character for your name.

 

Im trying to do a bit of validation so that when you enter your name it must be between 3 and 15 chars. As of yet i havent manged to get any reasonable results.

 

Also trying to do the same with age being < 18

 

Simple as possible please

 

here is the code i have so far.

 

If (empty($_GET['age'])) { echo "You must enter your age <br>"; }

else if ($_GET['name'] <= ('18',2));

 

???

this should help with the <a href="http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php"> String Length </a> issue

 

and here should help with the <a href="http://www.developer.com/lang/php/article.php/947911"> Conditional Statements </a>

 

the manuals are great for finding things out like this

here you go

<?php
$age=4;
if( ($age >3) && ($age <15) ){
echo "correct age";
}else{
echo"incorect age";
}
?>
