Im trying to make a very simple copy the code and if they match you can go on, but it doesnt seem to be working right at all. I can type in the same numbers as the code but the are not equel I dont get it . well here is my code. thank for your time.

This is the first page.

PHP Code:

<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
$getcode =  rand() . "\n";
$_SESSION['getcode'] = $getcode;
$gettingcode = $_SESSION['getcode'];

  echo "
  
  <form method='post' action='codetestpage.php'>
  Enter this code: ".$getcode." <input name='inputcode' type='text' border='1' />
  <input value='Send' type='submit' />
  
  </form>"
  ;
?>

and it goes to to this.

PHP Code:

<?php session_start(); ?>
 
<?php
$input = $_POST["inputcode"];
$getcode = $_SESSION["getcode"];
 
echo 'Your input was: '.$input.'<br/>';
echo 'The code was '.$getcode;

?>

<hr/>

<?php
if ($input == $getcode)
{ 
echo "Code matched.";
}
 else 
 
 { 
  echo "Code didn't match.";
  
  }
?>

Why do you put a new line after the getcode stored in the session? It's not matching probably because of the new line.

I took it out and its still not matching...

You need to cast the input as an integer

Line 4 should be .... $input = (int)$_POST["inputcode"];
