note 48327 added to function.count-chars

<?php /*The (password) string counter posted by martinpulido on 17-Nov-2004 11:54 is not correct. When there is a duplicate character (for example the password = 121212) it only counts 3 array's not 6. This is because the array build up by "count_chars" is as follows: (ASCII nr, frequency) To get the correct number of password characters I came up with this solution: */ $password= "yourpw"; $array = (count_chars($password,1)); $num_char=0; while(list($key,$value) = each($array)){$num_char=$num_char+$value;} if ($num_char != 6){echo("You'll need a 6 character password"); }else{ echo("You typed 6 characters"); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count-chars.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48327 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48327&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48327&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48327&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48327&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48327&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48327&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48327&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
