Php check password and password confirmation - php

Question

I'm making a sort of instagram and therefor I need a register page. I want to check of the password is equal or longer than 8 characters and if password and passwordconfirmation are the samen.
I've tried making a new class Security or a try - catch.
register.php
if ( !empty($_POST)) {
$user = new User();
$user->setFullname($_POST['fullname']);
$user->setUsername($_POST['username']);
$user->setEmail($_POST['email']);
$user->setPassword($_POST['password']);
$user->setPasswordConfirmation($_POST['password_confirmation']);
if( $user->passwordsAreSecure()) {
if($user->register()) {
session_start();
$_SESSION['email'] = $user->getEmail();
header('location: index.php');
} else {
$error = true;
}
} else {
$error2 = true;
}
}
My user class
public function passwordIsStrongEnough(){
if( strlen( $this->password ) <= 8 ){
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
public function passwordsAreEqual(){
if( $this->password == $this->passwordConfirmation ){
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
public function passwordsAreSecure(){
if( $this->passwordIsStrongEnough()
&& $this->passwordsAreEqual() ){
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
function register
public function register() {
$password = Security::hash($this->password);
try {
$conn = Db::getInstance();
$statement = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO users (fullname, username, email, password) values (:fullname, :username, :email, :password)');
$statement->bindParam(':fullname', $this->fullname);
$statement->bindParam(':username', $this->username);
$statement->bindParam(':email', $this->email);
$statement->bindParam(':password', $password);
$result = $statement->execute();
return($result);
} catch ( Throwable $t ) {
return false;
}
}
I want to get to the if( $user->passwordsAreSecure()) { so there is a session but now the form fields go empty and nothing happens.

I'm not sur to understand where is you problem. You haven't ask any question... But you can do all your code just like this :
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$user = new User();
$user->setFullname($_POST['fullname']);
$user->setUsername($_POST['username']);
$user->setEmail($_POST['email']);
$user->setPassword($_POST['password']);
$user->setPasswordConfirmation($_POST['password_confirmation']);
if ($_POST['password'] == $_POST['password_confirmation']
&& strlen($_POST['password']) > 8) {
if ($user->register()) {
session_start();
$_SESSION['email'] = $user->getEmail();
header('location: index.php');
} else {
$error = true;
}
} else {
$error2 = true;
}
}
