[RESOLVED] Match an input to a predefined phrase

[static1635]

Hi

I am trying to work out how to make a user input a phrase into a form.

A sort of basic catchpa thing really.

ie. Input code: EFDT4

My code starting point is so far:

else if(!$_POST['code'])
{
print "You did not input the Validation Code. Click back to try again.";
exit;
}

What I want to do is actually define the Validation Code so if they dont put in EFDT4 the code will follow through to exit.

Thanks for any help

I would expect logic along the lines of:

if (empty($_POST['code']))
{
    exit('You did not input the Validation Code. Click back to try again.');
}
else if ($_POST['code'] != 'EFDT4')
{
    exit('You entered an invalid Validation Code. Click back to try again.');
}
else
{
    // Valid Validation Code input.
}
