simple but i am having a brain fart

[grabenair]

I am writing a custom CMC to have a template. I came across this problem, when I try to code the password for it can not be over 20 characters in length I keep getting errors no matter how I change it up. I do not want to write another if statement just for that, although that works. What I am looking for is less then 6 but no more then 20. If I use && or || it tell's me Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in C:\xampp\htdocs\cms\register.php on line 21

 

<?php

include 'core/init.php';

include 'includes/overall/header.php';

 

if (empty($_POST) === false) {

$requried_fields = array('username', 'password', 'password_again', 'first_name', 'email');

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {

if(empty($value) && in_array($key, $requried_fields) === true) {

$errors[] = 'Fields marked with an asterisk are requried.';

break 1;

}

}

 

if (empty($errors) === true) {

if (user_exists($_POST['username']) === true) {

$errors[] = 'Sorry, the username \'' . $_POST['username'] . '\' is already taken.';

}

if(preg_match("/\\s/", $_POST['username']) == true) {

$errors[] = 'Your user name must cotain any spaces\.';

}

ERROR HERE-> if (strlen($_POST['password']) <6 || >20) {

$errors[] = 'Your password must be a least 6 character\'s in length and no more the 20.';

}

if ($_POST['password'] != $_POST['password_again']) {

$errors[] = 'Your passwords do not match.';

}

if(filter_var($_POST['email']. FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false) {

$ERRORS[] = 'A valid email address is requird. Your privacy is inportant to us. We will not give or sell it to anyone. ';

}

if(email_exist($_POST['email']) === true){

$errors[] = 'Sorry, the email \'' . $_POST['email'] . '\' is already taken.';

}

}

}

print_r($errors);

You can't do this, since "|| > 20" isn't a complete statement:

 

ERROR HERE->	 if (strlen($_POST['password']) <6 || >20) {

it has to be split up like this:

 

if (strlen($_POST['password']) < 6 || strlen($_POST['password']) > 20)

Thanks I was doing this if (strlen($_POST['password']) < 6 || (strlen($_POST['password'])) > 20)
