Re: [PHP] Comparing of string
I would guess that the '&' in $_GET['formCheck'] will cause problems... Trying your code without the ampersand as in: $_GET['formCheck'] = 'ZL0X~TT4PQ%0~R0OXPRUHY7E!4~W337J71V4WDDI6$GS9480XP0TNP2I$1YX75S' It works just fine. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That would technically make the strings different, but you wouldn't be able to tell with just echoing alone. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Comparing of string
Yep, they are of the same length. here they are: $SollKombination ZL0X~TT4PQ%0~R0OXPRUHY7E&!4~W337J71V4WDDI6$GS9480XP0TNP2I$1YX75S $formCheck ZL0X~TT4PQ%0~R0OXPRUHY7E&!4~W337J71V4WDDI6$GS9480XP0TNP2I$1YX75S When creating the string on the form page only visible characters were allowed. thanks but that's not it.

Re: [PHP] Comparing of string
Hi JanBro: Quick guess: are the strings the same length? I've been bitten many times by string comparisons that appear to be identical but which fail due to trailing spaces, other "invisible" (i.e., non-printing) characters, and the like. Hope this helps.
