Thanks I kind of understand I think but I am not sure I am assuming this means to do a if statement asking if password is equal to 4 but I am not sure if I understood completely. I tryed this but it is not correct
elseif ($yourcpassword=='<=3'){
$strMessage='password must be at least 4 characters.';
printForm($strMessage);
}

Your right, that is not correct:
elseif ($yourcpassword=='<=3'){
It should be something like:
//find length of string
$passLength = strlen($_POST['pword']);
if(isset($passLength)&& $passLength >= 4){
//password is filled and larger than or equal to 4 characters
//do stuff
}else{
//Error message
}

Thank you I will try to work with it and see if I can get it now I had found a code similar on the web earlier but I was not able to get it to work but most likely a placement issue or something I appreciate your help

Take a look into Pseudocode it will help you layout your code better.

I got it it is a little different than what you said but it works thanks your guidance did help
Never quite could figure out how to fit it in with a regular if statement with the code I already had I am new to this and I am sure it shows lol.
elseif(strlen($yourpassword) <= 3 ){
$strMessage='passwords must be at least 4 characters.';
printForm($strMessage);
}

Strlen() gives the actual number of characters are in the string. In your example you are testing for lessthan or equal to three not four.
