I have very limited knowledge in PHP; I'm a newbie, but I think I know what's wrong, although I've probably got it all wrong.
You just put your mail function as the condition for your if statement. You haven't actually mailed anything...I think. I'm probably dumb and don't know what I'm talking about...

hmm....

instead of

if (mail($row['email'], "Your Password", "Your password is ", $row['password']))

try this

<?
$message = "Your password is ".$row['password']."";
$email = $row['email'];
$mail = mail($email, "Your Password", $message);

if ($mail)

?>

tuf-web_co_uk

now i see what the problem is

$mysqlcon1 = "SELECT username FROM reg_info WHERE username='$username'";

you have only selected the username, therefor you wont be able to get row['email'] or $row['password']

Thanks for the finding the problem but im nut the best at php sow i edited the code so it looks like this but i't dosent work but its a start

/*****Dont forget this*******/

$mysqlcon2 = "SELECT * FROM reg_info where username='$username'";
$result2 = mysql_qurey($mysqlcon2) or die("Error: = . mysql_error);

$row = mysql_fetch_row($result2);

print "<p><center><big>Welcome $username Please click <a href=\"index.php\">
here to continue to flameline.com in some seconds you will recive a email with your password in it.</big></center></p>";

/*******mail function here!***********/
if (mail($row['email'], "Your Password", "Your password is ", $row['password']))
echo "Email Sent Successfully";

}
else
{
print "<p><center><big>Sorry, incorrect $username.</big></big></center></p>";

print "<p><center><big>if not a member <a href=\"register.php\">
click here to register</big></center></p>";
}
}
?>

echo "Email Sent Successfully";

$email = $row['email']; 
$mail = mail($email, "Your Password", $message);

the echo dosent work nothing hapends but it executes rigth but no mails ar being sent ide´s

echo "mail sent";

tuf-web_co_uk

this works fine on my server

echo "mail sent"; doesnt work because the mail isnt being sent

either an incorrect email address is being supplied or there is something wrong with your config, however if it was your config then errors would appear

so try giving a valid email address

Chrysanthus

hummm how should the php.ini look like

like this

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = autosender@mgi.se

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

tuf-web_co_uk

sorry i cant help you with the config, me dont know much about it, wait till the pro's come online 😉

Chrysanthus

If some one know of this error problem please help

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\flameline\get\getpassword.php on line 42

bad76

Try adding From header:

/**********mail function here!**************/  

$message = "Your password is ".$row['password']."";  

$email = $row['email'];  

$mail = mail($email, "Your Password", $message,"From: autosender@mgi.se");  

if ($mail) { 
          echo "mail sent"; 
}

Chrysanthus
