Hi.
In PHP you evaluate a string with "string comparison" functions.
It is viewed in asterisks, but passed quite normally.
As for the rest, you start by checking a variable on your page, and if
it denotes an error on a password, echo your message and proceed to read it
again, and the same for other situations.
Another way is to echo the error message on the script that gets the
error, and then recaling the first one.
The recalling should me made by the header function, which implies a PHP
script that echoes anything until it reaches the "header" statement.
