Check the braces, your || is not within them.

Replace the below line with your line 20

if ((strlen($retval)<4) || (strlen($retval)>7))

This should perfectly works...

Thank you a million for taking the time to answer me and yes that was the issue but now I am trying to figure out why my if statements are not working correctly. But at least it is running now, just giving incorrect results :P
But again thanks for that tip it did help!!
Thanks,

Thanks a bunch for the help!! It worked too I stopped getting error messages but now I am getting incorrect results :( but that is just my thinking and not the server errors so I can work that out easily enough. I just am repulsed by error messages and did not notice the brackets missing in the line and for that I am grateful for your reply!!
Thanks,
Zack
