Ilovetopk Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have wordpress in one directory on my website, and in another I have a test login form and other thing. The php for one page, my recover password script, will not execute. when i click submit and my form sends the data, it shows a blank page, and the source is my php code. i'm running windows 7 home premium, using firefox to browse the web, i have tested with IE. my script is below: <?php echo "World!"; ?> <?php //enters connection details require_once('config.php'); //connects to mysql database $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } //selects database $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE, $link); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } //cleans posted login name $login = $_POST['user']; //gets email from server $query="SELECT email FROM members WHERE login='$login'"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //sets $email as their emqail address $email = $row['email']; //generates random password class utility { static $random = ''; // generates a random password // By default of length 12 having special characters static function generate_password($length = 12, $special_chars=true) { $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'; if($special_chars) $chars .= '!@#$%^&*_-()'; $password = ''; for($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) $password .= substr($chars, self::generate_random_number(0, strlen($chars)-1), 1); return $password; } // generates a random number between $min and $max static function generate_random_number($min=0, $max=0) { // generate seed. TO-DO: Look for a better seed value everytime $seed = mt_rand(); // generate $random // special thing about random is that it is 32(md5) + 40(sha1) + 40(sha1) = 112 long // hence if we cut the 1st 8 characters everytime, we can get upto 14 random numbers // each time the length of $random decreases and when it is less than 8, new 112 long $random is generated if(strlen(self::$random) < 8 ) { self::$random = md5(uniqid(microtime().mt_rand(), true).$seed); self::$random .= sha1(self::$random); self::$random .= sha1(self::$random.$seed); } // take first 8 characters $value = substr(self::$random, 0, ; // strip first 8 character, leaving remainder for next call self::$random = substr(self::$random, ; $value = abs(hexdec($value)); // Reduce the value to be within the min - max range. 4294967295 = 0xffffffff = max random number if($max != 0) $value = $min + (($max - $min + 1) * ($value / (4294967295 + 1))); return abs(intval($value)); } } //defines random password as variable $password = utility::generate_password(); //updates password on database $query="UPDATE members SET passwd=md5('$password') WHERE login='$login'"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } //sends password to email address $to = "$email"; $subject = "Password recovery"; $message = "Your information on Ilovetopk.is-a-geek.com: Login: $login Password: $password Email: $email Login in and change your password as soon as possible. If you did not want to reset your password, please inform me and change it back to normal. Please do not respond to this email."; $from = "admin@ilovetopk.is-a-geek.com"; $headers = "From: $from"; $mail=mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); //redirects or tells of failure if($mail) { header("location:'recover-success.php'"); exit(); } else { die("Could not mail password, try again in a few minutes, or contact the admin."); } //unset database unset($db); ?> the "hello world" was just for testing. also, my view source goes to notepad ++, and it says the pages name is recover-password.php.htm is this a problem?

Ilovetopk Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 figured it out, the file type was hidden from me, it was an html, not a php! moved contents to php file, and wala!
