Setting new password

[krymly]

Ok, basicly I am using a php site with scripts from a third party. There is one thing not working like its supposed to be.

This is the full script of the page where I think the mistake is:

</html>

The main problem is that it does not actualy mail a new password, an pre made example of the site I host my site to mail is:

<?
$from = “From: You <you@yourdomain.com>”;
$to = “you@yourdomain.com”;
$subject = “Hi! “;
$body = “TEST”;

if(mail($to,$subject,$body,$from))
echo “MAIL - OK”;
else
echo “MAIL FAILED”;
?>

 

However if the code for mailing a new password is so troublesome there would also be another possible sollution, and that is where the password is set to a non random one (but still one only I know and I can set it to whatever password i want it to be)

 

So to summorise my request:

either to help me find a code to get the automatic mailing system work with a mailaddress from the site or to give it the abilaty to set a standard password that only I know and I can change in the code if I feel like it.

 

I would be gratefull for any possible help.

 

Thanks in advance,

Krymly

it does not send the mail period? or it just does not email the "password"?
