Question

I am trying to compare two strings I get from a password form in HTML.

They are being stored in variables from $_POST. I print them out and they look the same, but the code below will never evaluate to true, only false. Why does that happen?

//Verify the passwords match
if( ($passwd != $pass_confirm) && ($new_email != $email_confirm) ){
    echo "Email and/or password do not match";
    return FALSE;
}

I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

For your code to show the error message, both the email and password must be wrong.

Try using || instead of &&, so the error is shown when just one of them is wrong.
