[PHP] function doesn't return value
Hi,
After a new user has filled in a form to register for my site, I check
that she has entered the same password twice by calling a homemade
function. Like this:
$u_pwd = validate_password($_POST['u_pwd'],$_POST['u_pwd1']);
And the function looks like this:
function validate_password($unchecked_password1, $unchecked_password2,
$errortype = 1, $errormessage = Password must contain just letters and
figures.) {
if(!($unchecked_password1 == $unchecked_password2)) {
error(Passwords entered doesn't match!);
}
if(!ereg((^[a-zA-ZåÅäÄöÖ0-9]{6,15}$), $unchecked_password2)) {
if($errortype == 1) {
error($errormessage);
}
Return 1;
}
}
I have verified that $_POST['u_pwd'] and $_POST['u_pwd1'] as well as
$unchecked_password1 and $unchecked_password2 contains the entered values,
but $u_pwd is empty.
Why?
As with my previous problems this evening, it works on my local server,
but not on my ISP's. At home I'm running Windows 2000 and PHP 4.3.1, while
my ISP is on SunOS 5.7 with PHP 4.1.1.

AFAIK in PHP, if you don't specifically return something from a function, the
function will not return anything.

AFAIK in PHP, if you don't specifically return something from a function, the function will not return anything. True. I'm so frustrated over here that I miss the most obvious things. Thank's. Strange thing is that it worked at my localhost, though. -- anders thoresson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
