varcar for password,probel m with mixed alpha or numeric

I have a field called pword, whenever someone enters anything but numeric,
i.e. mixed alpha with numeric, or even just alpha.. the following error
appears.

Warning: mysql_numrows() : supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource
What do I need to change the field to, to be able to have whatever password
configuration the user wants to enter?

TIA,

I figured it out.. put single quotes around my where statement in calling
this field and it now will accept alpha,
numeric or mixed. before I just had the $pword instead of '$pword'

I just thought I would share, I didn't think that would make a difference,
but it sure did.

Never ignore the return value of mysql_query; if there's an error, it returns
false, and the reason for the error is available in mysql_error().

For debugging use something like:

$result = mysql_query($qu ery)
or die ("Query failed:<br>$que ry<br>Error: " . mysql_error());

This will show you the error, which query caused it, and prevent your script
carrying on past a failed query and getting into even worse trouble with
undefined variables and resource handles (as above).

Hello.. I'm trying to come up with a good way to have password requirements (i.e., length, Upper/Lower case mix, x number of Alpha, x number of numeric, etc.) configurable by installed site.

Does anyone have a code snippet to compare those values so I can sort the array of alpha-numeric values that include both characters and integers in it? I.e., if we have values like 4236 and 123234, I want 4236 to be second because 4 is bigger than 1 rather than using the numeric comparison. The strings can include character values and strings. Basically, I have the bubble sort function, the question is how to compare those types of...

In a standard Ascii table a dash or hyphen is decimal 45. A period or dot is decimal 46. If I sort a table or recordset of mixed character string ascending in Access, those strings beginning with a dot or period are first; those beginning with a dash or hyphen are sorted as though the hyphen is not there (that is the next non-hyphen character controls the sort order). Those that are alpha or numeric are sorted in their normal order...
