    is it possible to disable a user from viewing a page after they submit a form

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I have a forgot password form that allows a user to submit their email then a link to a page to reset their password is sent to that email. On this page I have them submit their email and enter in a new password which works fine. But is there any way I could disable this page so the user cant get access to change their password again unless they submit another request to change their password. In other words, I want them to use that link only once and thats it. 

     

    If so can someone give me some ideas on how to do this?

    can I use php and apache to host my website on a windows client for others to view?  If so, can someone tell me how to publish this for others to view through their internet browser?  We are all on the same network. I dont have to publish it publicly just host it for other users on the same domain as me will work for now.  I am trying to get my manager to look at on his machine instead of mine.

    trying to connect via web to database

    in MySQL Help

    Posted

    I am using IIS to host my website. I have a logon page that asks for the user's username and password. My website works when I use Apache and run it on my local machine but when I host it over the web through IIS I receive an error when I try to logon which is connected to mySQL. Error...Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\userlogin.php on line 14.

     

    Can someone tell me how I can configure my settings so the user can log on via web and connect to the database. I would greatly appreciate it.

    error when sending mail

    thanks for the reply. I think my code is right too. ;D  For some reason the mail server doesn't wont to relay the message externally.

     

    It does send email just not to my external accounts(ex. gmail, yahoo,etc.).  It only sends  the messges to my company email accounts.

    error when sending mail

    my situation: I am in an internal network that is using our company's SMTP. I am working on a forgot password page for our website.  When I type in an email and submit it it verifies that the email is in the database and sends that email account the username and password. 

     

    This only works with the company's email accounts such as me@company.com but when I use me@yahoo.com it does not send the username and password. I receive these errors....

     

     

    Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for me@yahoo.com in C:\wamp\www\email_info.php on line 28

     

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\wamp\www\email_info.php:28) in C:\wamp\www\email_info.php on line 30

     

     

    can someone tell me what the problem may be????

    I am trying to do a forgot password page that will email the person his username and password based on the email submitted. Here is the errors I am getting...

    Warning: mail() expects parameter 3 to be string, object given in C:\wamp\www\email_info.php on line 26

     

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\wamp\www\email_info.php:26) in C:\wamp\www\email_info.php on line 28

     

    I think it something to do with converting the $res - $body but I am not sure?

     

    Can someone tell me whats wrong?
