Just quickly, it now can add up to 105 (I think, but I could be wrong).

Looking much better though, thank you.

Code:
if ($password_length > 0)
{
$_points += 5;
if($password_length >= 5)
{
$_points += 10;
if($password_length >= 7)
{
$_points += 25;
}
}
}
// lower case
if($lower_case_count > 0)
{
$_points += 10;
}
// upper case
if($upper_case_count > 0)
{
$_points += 10;
}
// numeric
if($numeric_count > 0)
{
if ($numeric_count <= 2)
{
$_points += 10;
}
else
{
$_points += 20;
}
}
// special characters
if ($special_count > 0)
{
if ($special_count == 1)
{
$_points += 10;
}
else
{
$_points += 25;
}
}There was an additional section where one could earn up to 5 additional points.
85 + 5 = 90 points to get a "Very secure" rating. You can't reach that right now but I guess that's ok.

its up to 40 for length.
If you have a password of 10 characters, you will get 5 points for having a password, 10 points fo it being over a length of 5 and 25 points for it being ofer a length of 7.
5+10+25=40
If you have a look at the original example I put up, The values were changed (5+5+15), I am sorry I shoudl have commented the code better and pointed out the changes so you could easly make the changes.
You can either change it to an "else if"/switch with out a break or keep it the same and adjust the values.
Code:
switch($password_length) {
case ($password_length > 0):
$_points += 5;
case ($password_length >= 5):
$_points += 5;
case ($password_length >= 7):
$_points += 15;
break;
}Hope that helps. Ive only had to edit this file about five times to fix spelling.

Damn, u are absolutly right!
It took me some time but I finally found the page where I found the rating system: http://www.codeandcoffee.com/2007/07/how-to-make-a-password-strength-meter-like-google-v20/
I adjusted the helper to better reflect the proposed rating and fixed the amount of points one can get for the length.
Again thanks for your help!

I have library like this. I wrote it myself. Does your library checks for &, ?, !, %, $ and other symbols in strength checking?

[eluser]davidbehler[/eluser]
Sure I do. I check for upper case, lower case, numbers and special character
