Email Data

[Learning_PHP]

If the user forgets their password I'm trying to retrieve the password from the database and send it to them by email. I have no idea how to get this started. Can someone help me with this?

//first generate a query to get the password from the database
$q = "SELECT password FROM user_information WHERE userid='some_identifier'";

//execute the query
$r = mysql_query($q);

//get the info from mysql
$temp = mysql_fetch_row($r);

//put the password into a variable that is easier to access
$password = $temp[0];

//now that you have the password in that variable, lookup the PHP function mail()

[man]mail[/man] That should get you going.
