Infinite Error Loop On Pwd Reset

[jaZon]

On resetting the pwd I get an infinite loop. If someone could take a look at it, I'd appreciate it.

http://jazon.tqhosting.com/usertest/phps/forgot_form.phps

Every file called for in the scripts are listed in that phps directory with a .phps extension instead of the .php.

Also, if the code itself is just extremely inefficient(besides the fact that it doesn't work now) do you have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason

first one i found was in : user_auth_fns.phps

replace:
$result = mysql_query("insert into user values ('$username', password('$password'), '$email')");

with:
$result=mysql_query("insert into user (username,password,email) values ('$username', password('$password'),'$email')") or die(mysql_error());

// take out the die(x) if you want, but its nice to have to debug

unless you dont have to specify what goes where?? i never really experiment with mysql syntax

Thanks for the tip, but that really doesn't address the password reset error I'm having trouble with.

This is the block the error is being pulled from

function get_random_word($min_length, $max_length)
// grab a random word from dictionary between the two lengths
// and return it
{
   // generate a random word
  $word = "";
  $dictionary = "/usr/dict/words";  // the ispell dictionary
  $fp = fopen($dictionary, "r");
  $size = filesize($dictionary);

  // go to a random location in dictionary
  srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
  $rand_location = rand(0, $size);
  fseek($fp, $rand_location);

  // get the next whole word of the right length in the file
  while (strlen($word)< $min_length || strlen($word)>$max_length) 
  {  

     if (feof($fp))   

        fseek($fp, 0);        // if at end, go to start
     $word = fgets($fp, 80);  // skip first word as it could be partial
     $word = fgets($fp, 80);  // the potential password
  };
  $word=trim($word); // trim the trailing \n from fgets
  return $word;  

}

Here's the error:

Warning: fopen("/usr/dict/words", "r") - No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site69/fst/var/www/html/usertest/user_auth_fns.php on line 102

After the mention of line 116 it beings repeating the bolded warnings until you stop the browser.

Does this mean certain options are turned off on my server and I should get the administrator to turn them on?

it looks like it cant open wahtever file it is, is it a directory of files or is the dictionary file named 'word' ? if its 'word' then it might help to add an extention like word.inc or something?

Well now I know part of the problem. No dictionary installed on the server. I'm attempting to download an ispell dictionary to install, but not sure how that's going to go.
