I am making a method so your password needs at least one capital and one symbol or number.
I was thinking of splitting the string in to loose characters and then use preg_match()
to count if it contains one capital and symbol/number.
However I did something like this in action script but can't figure out how this is called in php. I can't find a way to put every character of a word in an array.
AS3 example
for(var i:uint = 0; i < thisWordCode.length -1 ; i++)
{
thisWordCodeVerdeeld[i] = thisWordCode.charAt(i);
//trace (thisWordCodeVerdeeld[i]);
}
You can access characters in strings in the same way as you would access an array index, e.g.
$length = strlen($string);
$thisWordCodeVerdeeld = array();
for ($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) {
$thisWordCodeVerdeeld[$i] = $string[$i];
}
You could also do:
$thisWordCodeVerdeeld = str_split($string);
However you might find it is easier to validate the string as a whole string, e.g. using regular expressions.
