Hi there, I've set up a basic password change that sends an email to the client when they change their password. The email notify's the client that their password has been changed and what the password is. The current problem I'm receiving is that when the user changes their password the message confirms that an email has been sent however, the email never arrives. The original email only arrives when the client changes their password again and they receive their first password change not their new password change. Can you help?? my code is below: <?php $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="root"; // Mysql username $password="*******"; // Mysql password $db_name="testpwreset"; // Database name //Connect to server and select database. $con=mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password"); mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die("cannot connect to server"); mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("cannot select DB"); // value sent from form $email_to=$_POST['email_to']; $old_password=$_POST['old_password']; $new_password=$_POST['new_password']; $new_password2=$_POST['new_password2']; if ($new_password != $new_password2) {die("Your passwords do not match");} // table name $tbl_name=members; mysql_query("UPDATE $tbl_name SET password = '$new_password' WHERE email = '$email_to' AND password = '$old_password'"); // retrieve password from table where e-mail = $email_to(*****@gmail.com) $sql="SELECT password FROM $tbl_name WHERE email='$email_to' AND password = '$old_password'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // if found this e-mail address, row must be 1 row // keep value in variable name "$count" $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // compare if $count =1 row if($count==1){ $asdf=mysql_query("UPDATE $tbl_name SET password = '$new_password' WHERE email = '$email_to' AND password = '$old_password'"); $rows=mysql_fetch_array($result); // keep password in $your_password $your_password=$rows['password']; // ---------------- SEND MAIL FORM ---------------- // send e-mail to ... $to=$email_to; // Your subject $subject="Your Tafe FTP Password"; // From $header="from: your name \<your email\>"; // Your message $messages= "Your password for login to the Orange Tafe IT Ftp Server is: $your_password \r\n"; // send email $sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$messages,$header); } // else if $count not equal 1 else { echo "Cannot find your email in our database"; } // if your email succesfully sent if($sentmail){ echo "Your Password Has Been Sent To Your Email Address."; } else { echo "Cannot send password to your e-mail address"; } ?>

Hi thorpe, Thanks for the reply! We are running Postfix as our mail server. It looks like this is an SELinux issue. I Completely disabled SELinux and I'm now able to send out emails from the smtp mail server. I'm not entirely sure what settings I need to change in Selinux to get the smtp mail server fucntioning with SELinux ??

Hi there, We are trying to get the mail function in wordpress to work. However, PHP Mail does'nt work for us to be able to access the wordpress mail function. We are unsure if PHP mail is even installed or how to get it working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
