Dual validating password fields

[dr.maturin]

Can anyone tell me how to have 2 password fields so that the 2nd field validates that the password entered in the 1st field is correct and returns an error message and resets both fields if the passwords don't match.

Apologies if this is on a forum list somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks.

Re: Dual validating password fields

You need to have two password fileds in your form. Call the first one "password" and the seconf one "password1".

Now in your php processing script, you need to implement these lines of code:

@$password = addslashes($_POST['password']);
@$password1 = addslashes($_POST['password1']);

if( $password != $password1 )
{
header("Location: error_page.html");
exit;
}

Put these lines in your script, before the mail sending part.
Create and publish an "error_page" in BV with a Back button in it and the appropriate message. Have a look at How to upload a file using a form
to see how to create this error page and how to put a "Back to the form" button.
