Limit TextField

[Forean]

okay guys Im beginning at php, and as the title says i want to limit the text-field

like "ON THE REGISTER PAGE"

Username : This-is-a-username

but thats a total of 18 Characters Aka letters.. And i want them to only be able to put 12 For Example

Username : This-is-a-us

After that it wont let them put anymore even if they spam letters :P

Any ideas?

Updated, this is for the Register Page.

For a client-sided fix, use the MAXLENGTH attribute; in PHP, just check the length of the entered field using the string length function, strlen:

<?php
 if( strlen( $_POST['username'] ) > 10 )
 {
  die( "That name is too long" );
 }
 else
 {
  // Continue with registration..
 }
?>

strlen in PHP,

maxlength in HTML.

strlen in PHP,

maxlength in HTML.

It's the maxlength attribute; e.g.

<input type="..." maxlength="10" />
