YOUR THE BEST TEACHER I EVER SEARCH IN YOUTUBE...MORE BLESSINGS TO YOU AND TO YOUR FAMILY... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL TUTORIALS... YOU INSPIRED ME SO MUCH.. THANK YOU AGAIN

[cristianiiacob]

i'm a php beginner, but i cand see that you are making the decision for password lenth, with them encrypted ....
:))
even though you're making a great tutorial!

[jackrios]

Great tutorials as always. Congrats and thank you.

[brettc]

I freaking love you! You're saving my ass on a project right now.

[KevinParijs]

@kwonzomatic you can "escape" this error by doing following code:
if(isset($_POST['submit'])

Basically you now are going to check if that post-variable is set.

[Hayate.Yoshida]

@daeheadshot Yes, however it's not about ease, it's more about protecting the database from user-generated errors. maxlength is a client-side "protection", so-to-speak. The MySQL limit is a minimum version of a server-side protection.

[RawaZz]

I don't know how to thank you. Because you learned me php

[RandomThai]

as ninjafoxinteractive you could just write maxlength in the tag like this
input type='text' name=' before
input type='text' name='fullname' maxlength=25 after
save yourself time from writing a whole bunch of if statements >.>"

[PureMadnessProductions]

With just maxlength, you could use Firebug, or Google Chrome to bypass it.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{'


what does this mean

[zrowlandjones]

@TheLoLGameplays7312

I had the same problem, it means there is an else where there shouldn't be an else. Usually a { bracket is the problem. So if you've done

if() {
if(){
} else {
if() {
}

}else

You need to remove the bracket just after the else as you see there's 4 bracket's opening the statement and only 3 closing them. You need an equal amount.

Hey Alex. How's it going? I got just a question for you... When I define my $submit variable by the the assignment of the value $_POST['submit'], undefined index comes up! :| I'd decided to escape that error by adding @ at the beggining of the sentence.

[TheSurvivor]

I think it will check the length before it gets encrypted, not sure though

[kevintipker]

I discovered a mistake, maybe you guys already have said it or what ever but, if you md5 encrypt your password it's ALWAYS longer then 6 characters... so you have to md5 encrypts is ever the check if it's to long! anyways sorry for my english

[elvisniperx]

you can use "now()" rather than using $date = date("Y-m-d");

[Acceptable]

Yeah well Its ok. I learned MySql and hooked it up to a database and made an insert script so I have a fully functional Register and login :P I just have to tweak a few things though.

[andea]

because you still can send data to the php script, by just editing the html code with fiebug or chrome website debugger...

[PureMadnessProductions]

@oiejaune Also that's a client-side validation. Never use just client-side validation. I horrible practice to do so. Client-side validation practices are meant only for the user's convenience, nothing more.

[VigilianceAurelious]

Just realized on every single login and register tutorial everybody keeps posting the same problem.

If you get Undefined variable, be sure to put "@" beside the variable
example
@$fullname =

[nattsurfaren]

Is there a reason to check for user/pass length other than protect from someone entering extremely long data.
You could do something like this:
if(strlen(implode("", $_POST))>200)

Otherwise the things I hate the most is when I want to test a service and don't care about my account and I get errors with to short /to long/ or other things.

I really love your videos and it is pretty clear what you do.
