The following code validates a new user password by asking them to confirm their password by entering it twice:
// search to see if is a vvalid file path
if (($val["type"] == "password") && !strstr($key , "_confirm")) {
$name = $val["name"] ? $val["name"] : $key ;
if ($input[$name] != $input[$name . "_confirm"]) {
//preparing the message
$fields["error"] = "Password and confirmation doesn't match.";
$fields["errors"][$name] = 1;
$fields["errors"][$name . "_confirm"] = 1;
$fields["values"] = $input;
}
}
I would like to include additional validation (i.e., password contains at least 1 number and 1 letter, special characters [!@#$%], must be at least 8 characters in length.
What would be the proper code syntax to nest with the above code? THX
