NIck, welcome back. I am learning PHP from your "Learning PHP" series on ibm developerworks and was having a problem with one of your examples. I was wondering if you could help me with my problem. If you could point me in the direction of your email address I can post to you exactly where I am having problems. Thanks.

Anybody can reach me at the e-mail address to this comment. (No sense making it overly easy for spammers. :-))

Alright, Nick, here goes. I am at the end of your first part of your tutorial, and I am not getting anything when the registration.php is validated. Nothing is returned, and I don't know why. I am using a default install of Apache 1.3 on a Mac with PHP 5.0.4. Below is the text of my two files.

==========
registration.php
==========

Workflow System

Register for an account:

Username:
Email:
Password:
Password (again):

============
registration_action.php
============

Registration Action

You entered:

";
}
if (strlen($username) 50) {
$message = $message . "Username must be between 5 and 50 characters.";
}
if ($message == "") {
$message = "OK";
}

return $message;

}

//for each loop
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
echo "" . $key . " = " . $value . "";
}

//password array
$passwords = $_POST["pword"];
echo "First password = " . $passwords[0];
echo "";
echo "Second password = " . $passwords[1];

//calling the function
if (validate($_POST) == "OK") {
echo "Thank you for registering!";
} else {
echo "There was a problem with your registration:";
echo validate($_POST);
echo "Please try again.";
}

?>

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nate
