Hey basically im wondering how i would go about MD5  the randomly generated password from the code below;

 

}
function genRandomPas(){
$pas=rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9);
return $pas;
}

Hi there,

 

One way of doing this 

 

function getUniqueCode($length = "")
{
$code = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
if ($length != "") return substr($code, 0, $length);
else return $code;
}

I attempted to do the following and got an error, any ideas?

 

}
function genRandomPas(){
$pas= md5 (rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9);
return $pas;
}

return $pas;
}

Your missing a parenthesis after you last "rand";

Thanks that worked a treat getting another problem elsewhere thought... sorry to be a pest :/ any clues on why this;

 

}else{
		$pas=$cgi['passone'];
		updateUser($_SESSION["activationID"], " password=' md5 ($pas)', active='1' ");
		setLastSeen($_SESSION['activationID'],time());
		mail($cgi['email'],"Your new  password", "Your new  password is: md5 ($pas) ");
		echo "<font color=white size=5>Activate.</font><br><br> Your password  was changed and now you can login with this new password.";
		$isActivated=1;

 

Is causing the password to be submitted as  "md5 (passwordhere)"

 

Any help will be very much appreciated im new to this whole scene sorry ;(

Yeah its because the md5 function isn't getting executed where it is.  Change these lines.

 

$pas=md5($cgi['passone']);
updateUser($_SESSION["activationID"], " password='$pas', active='1' ");

Worked a charm, Thanks alot man, Once quick q i have a "forgot password" link is it possible to translate it out of md5 to email them there password or not? As im really new to this type of thing i have no clue. Thanks.

No you will need to send them a link to reset the password.  There are usually a lot of tutorials online on how to best do this.

Thanks, Hmm need to rethink my registration code now i guess as a randomly generated password wont really work as you cannot send it to them, Thanks for all the help you provided me with.
