three bullets for each character in password

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

alright, anybody who has used a linux build machine has also probably used the thing where for every character you type in your password, it types out three/two characters.
My question is simply, is it possible to do this with php? To have your password form output three/four/etc… bullets for each character typed?

If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

$password = $db->query("SELECT pass FROM users WHERE username = '$username'");

echo "Your password is: <b>";
for ($i=0; $i<strlen($password); $i++){
echo "***";
}
echo "</b>.";
[/code]

If you mean "[i][u]as you type[/u][/i]," then you're not talking about PHP -- since such operations can only occur on the client side and PHP is only server side. For the client side, you can only accomplish this via client-side scripting (e.g., JavaScript).

Success!
