I am working on a contact form. Now I am having a problem when the user is suppose to re enter the password it doesnt work. I know this is probaly something small but I havent been able to figure it out. Here is my code:

<?php
function showForm($strMessage){
echo "<h1>".$strMessage."</h1>";
echo " <p>Note: fields marked with '*' are required</p>\n";
echo "<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"post\">\n";
echo "<table width=\"45%\" class=\"formtable\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n";
echo "  <tr>\n";
echo "      <td><span id=\"rfvname\">* Name:</span></td>\n";
echo "      <td><input type=\"text\" name=\"name\"   value=\"".$_POST['name']."\" /></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "    <tr>\n";
echo "      <td><span id=\"rfvemail\">* E-mail:</span></td>\n";
echo "      <td><input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" value=\"".$_POST['emial']."\" /></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "      <tr>\n";
echo "      <td><span id=\"rfvusername\">* Username:</span></td>\n";
echo "      <td><input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" value=\"".$_POST['username']."\" /></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "  <tr>\n";
echo "        <td><span id=\"rfvpword\">* Password:</span></td>\n";
echo "        <td><input type=\"password\" name=\"pword\" value=\"".$_POST['pword']."\" /><br /><span style=\"font-size:9px;\"><em>(at least 4 chars) </em></span></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "    <tr>\n";
echo "      <td><span id=\"rfvpword\">* Re-enter Password:</span></td>\n";
echo "      <td><input type=\"text\" name=\"pword\" value=\"".$_POST['pword']."\" /></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "  <tr>\n";
echo "         <td>&nbsp;</td>\n";
echo "         <td><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" class=\"btnSubmit\" id=\"btnSubmit\" name=\"submit\" /></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
  }

    If you request for 2 passwords for the sake of comparison you should give them different names; otherwise the second input will overwrite the first and you only get 1 value.

    Here’s how you’d go about validating your passwords:

    if (trim($_POST['name'])==""){
    $strMessage="Please enter your name!";
    showForm($strMessage);
}
/* START ADD */
elseif ($_POST['pword1'] != $_POST['pword2']) {
    $_POST['pword1'] = NULL;  // Reset the values of pword1 so it is not in the form
    $_POST['pword2'] = NULL;  // Reset the values of pword2 so it is not in the form
    $strMessage="Passwords do not match!";
    showForm($strMessage);
}
/* END ADD */
elseif (strlen(trim($_POST['pword']))<=3){
    $strMessage="Your password must be at least 4 characters long!";
    showForm($strMessage);
}
else ...
