Hello List I've got the following little code:

                       $formCheck= $_GET['formCheck'];
                       $SollKombination = $_SESSION['zufall'];

                       echo "$SollKombination<br>$formCheck";
                       print gettype($formCheck);
                       echo "---";
                       print gettype($SollKombination);

                       if ($SollKombination == $formCheck){
                                  echo "test";
                       }

To give you some background: This code is supposed to check if a user has tried to login via my form. Which gives me the following output: ZL0X~TT4PQ%0~R0OXPRUHY7E&!4~W337J71V4WDDI6$GS9480XP0TNP2I$1YX75S ZL0X~TT4PQ%0~R0OXPRUHY7E&!4~W337J71V4WDDI6$GS9480XP0TNP2I$1YX75S string---string Everything the way it's supposed to be.... What I don't get is, why isn't the if statement true? Shouldn't it show test as well? Where is my mistake? I run PHP 5.1.1 on Windows. On my Win PHP 5.0 this code works proper, but not here ?!? thx JanBro Hey JanBro,

Try replacing the if statement you have with this: if ( strcmp( trim($SollKombination), trim($formCheck) ) ) { echo "test"; } --- Jeremy Privett [ http://www.jeremyprivett.com ] Founder - Lead Software Developer - Hosting Systems Administrator Omega Vortex (http://www.omegavortex.com)
