I'm sure that this is a simple fix, but I can't figure it out. I am trying to setup a sign-up screen that requires the user to type in their password twice to verify that they typed it in correctly. My problem is, how do I compare the two entries? In my HTML form I have two fields, password and password_check. My PHP looks like this: <? if ($password != $password_check) { $error_msg .= "Passwords do not match!<br>"; $continue = "no"; } ?> When I try to enter two different values in the HTML fields, my php does not return anything. Its as if it doesn't see it. Any help would be great. Thanks, Jeff
