Subject: strncmp function Date: Wednesday 30 March 2005 01:14 pm From: Russ <russbucket@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: PHP General <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> I'm new to php and linux. I am trying to replace a password program I used under windows with a mysql based login. I want to compare the first character of the first and last name of the user for a capital letter. My login program passes a user name and password. Below is a start to the program but I'm alittle confused on how to set str1 to check all letters of the alphabet. Can anyone point me to a document or give me an idea on how to do this? I can not use .htaccess do to ISP (host) rules. Access is to a members only sectionof the webpages for my Lions club. <?php $fname=John; $lname=Smith; if(strncmp(S,${lname},1) ===0) { ?> <h1>strncmp() must have returned returned non-false</h1> <?php } else { ?> <h3>Strncmp() must have returned false</h3> <?php } ?> -- Russ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
