Hi All,

I have an input field with type="password".

I am trying to do some error checking to see if the user puts a value in
after they submit the form (i.e not left it blank)

Here is what I have:

on form:
Password: <input id="PASSWORD" name="PASSWORD" type="password" size="15">

In PHP error checking:

if (empty($_POST[PASSSWORD]))
{ $GERROR="TRUE";}

even though I am putting characters in the field before I submit I am always
getting TRUE returned.

This same tactic works for other fields I have that I need to make sure they
put values in, just I have never done this before with a password field.

What am I doing wrong? I just want to make sure they put something there!

If that's a direct copy/paste from your actual code, there is an extra
S in PASSWORD. Also, you should enclose the array key in quotes:

if (empty($_POST['PASSWORD']))
{ $GERROR='TRUE'; }

try if trim() gives you any different result:

if (empty(trim($_POST['PASSWORD'])))
{ $GERROR='TRUE'; }
