Hi All,
I have an input field with type="password".
I am trying to do some error checking to see if the user puts a value in after they submit the form (i.e not left it blank)
Here is what I have:
on form:
Password: <input id="PASSWORD" name="PASSWORD" type="password" size="15">
In PHP error checking:
if (empty($_POST[PASSSWORD]))
{ $GERROR="TRUE";}
even though I am putting characters in the field before I submit I am always getting TRUE returned.
This same tactic works for other fields I have that I need to make sure they put values in, just I have never done this before with a password field.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to make sure they put something there!
