PHP- passwords, mail, autoresponders?   4 comments

Posted at 6:15 pm in Programming & Design


i’m trying to create an autoresponder email that sends the user his/her username and new password if they lost their old one.

i let the user fill out their info on the website, i check the credentials, grab their username and create a new password, then send this to my email address with the username and new password included. then i have an autoresponder set up, but unsure how to get the info (username and new pwd) that was sent to me sent back to the user automatically.

any tips, advice, or functions i can use for this feature?
the whole point is how do i send the pwd to the USER…..i’d rather not send it to me first (seems like a waste), but i thought the mail() function only sends things to my mailbox not the USERs
