Could someone direct me to a good tutorial on confirming passwords so that both match for validation purposes. Hopefully this can be done with php. I had no luck googling this subject! any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Uh...can you be more specific?

I mean, it sounds like you're referring to when a user fills in a change password and they have to duplicate it to verify that they are entering what they think they're entering.

Like...

Old Password: ________
New Password: ________
Repeat New Password: ________

I'm not sure what's so difficult about...

PHP Code:

if ($new_password == $repeat_new_password) {
  echo "Hooray, they match!";
}

Here is a great article on how to use a pear package to create all forms. But one of the things it does is allow you to create password inputs that need to match.

but pgo, i need an error message. So is there something that says if $password does not equal $confirmpass then it will echo "your passwords do not match"... I think its "!=" right?...

[Maciek]

SOooooo

PHP Code:

else if ($password != $confirmpass) {
          $errmsg = 'The password which you have entered do not match';
    } 


This totally worked! im happy =)! im learning quickly....
