Hello,

 

I have this code to retreive forgotten pass:

//here is my db connection//

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM db WHERE email='$email'"); 
if(!$result){
}  
else  
if($email!= mysql_result($result, 0)){
include 'recover.php';
echo "bla bla";
exit();
}

$sql= mysql_query("SELECT pass FROM db WHERE email='$email'");
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// if found e-mail address, row must be 1 row
// keep value
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

if($count==1){
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
// keep password
$pass=$rows['pass'];
exit();
}
//here I have the Send Email code including:
$email
$pass

I get no errors, but inside the email I only get the $email and not the $pass.

 

Any help?

 

Thank you

You don't have any error reporting in your database query,

I would also add, Limit 1 since i guess there can be only 1 user.

But on the other hand, if your passwords are hashed, all you get back is a hash. I am not sure if you ant that and if it would be better for them to just set a new password and email it to them.

Why this:

$sql= mysql_query("SELECT pass FROM db WHERE email='$email'");
$result=mysql_query($sql);

Why two times mysql_query?

 

why exit() after $pass?

 

Try this

//here is my db connection//

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM db WHERE email='$email'"); 
if(!$result){
}  
else  
if($email!= mysql_result($result, 0)){
include 'recover.php';
echo "bla bla";
exit();
}

$sql= "SELECT pass FROM db WHERE email='$email'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// if found e-mail address, row must be 1 row
// keep value
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

if($count==1){
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
// keep password
$pass=$rows['pass'];
}
//here I have the Send Email code including:
$email
$pass

 

Also we don't know how your email code looks like.

god... now it gave me the error log.... (or now I noticed it)

 

$count=mysql_num_rows()

it says that supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

 

What is wrong here?

 

After I removed the mysql_query, I got NO error msgs (for sure) but no email at all as well!

This is my email code..

$yoursite='';
$webmaster='Administrators';
$youremail='';

$subject="Υπενθύμιση Κωδικού Πελάτη";
$message="
E-Mail: $email
Κωδικός Πελάτη: $pass

Ευχαριστώ,
$webmaster";

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $yoursite<$youremail>\nX-Mailer:PHP/" .phpversion());

Here it is I have only changed "SELECT pass" to "SELECT *"

 

<?php

//Database Information

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "masterdb";
$dbuser = "";
$dbpass = "";

//Connect to database

mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Error: " .mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

$email=$_POST['email'];

if(!($email)){
include 'recover.php';
echo "";
exit();
}

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM db WHERE email='$email'"); 
if(!$result){
}  
else  
if($email!= mysql_result($result, 0)){
include 'recover.php';
echo "";
exit();
}

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM db WHERE email='$email'");
$result = mysql_query($sql);
// if found e-mail address, row must be 1 row
// keep value
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($count==1){
$rows = mysql_fetch_array($result);
// keep password
$pass = $rows['pass'];
$name = $rows['name'];
exit();
}

session_start();
if($_SESSION['captchaCheck'] != $_POST['providedCaptcha'] && !empty($_SESSION['captchaCheck'])){
// TODO
include 'recover.php';
echo "";
unset($_SESSION['captchaCheck']);
exit();
}

{
include 'blank.php';
echo "";
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="5; URL=index.php">';
}

$yoursite='';
$webmaster='Administrators';
$youremail='';

$subject="Υπενθύμιση Κωδικού Πελάτη";
$message="Αγαπητή/έ $name, 

E-Mail: $email
Κωδικός Πελάτη: $pass

Ευχαριστώ,
$webmaster";

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $yoursite<$youremail>\nX-Mailer:PHP/" .phpversion());

?>

I have updated your code, but not tested. Backup your old file 1st.

Try to adjust where you need to, also i would suggest to work on the if else statements.

<?php
session_start();

//Database Information
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "masterdb";
$dbuser = "";
$dbpass = "";

//Connect to database
mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Error: " .mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

$email=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);

if(!$email){
include 'recover.php';
//echo "";
exit();
}

$query_email = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM db WHERE email='$email'") or die(mysql_error());
$num_email = mysql_num_rows($query_email);
if($num_email != 1){
include 'recover.php';
echo "";
exit();
}
else
{

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM db WHERE email='$email'") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($sql);
// if found e-mail address, row must be 1 row
// keep value
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($count==1){
$rows = mysql_fetch_array($result);
// keep password
$pass = $rows['pass'];
$name = $rows['name'];
}


if($_SESSION['captchaCheck'] != $_POST['providedCaptcha'] && !empty($_SESSION['captchaCheck'])){
// TODO
include 'recover.php';
echo "";
unset($_SESSION['captchaCheck']);
exit();
}
else
{
include 'blank.php';
echo "";
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="5; URL=index.php">';
}

$yoursite='';
$webmaster='Administrators';
$youremail='';

$subject="&#933;&#960;&#949;&#957;&#952;&#973;&#956;&#953;&#963;&#951; &#922;&#969;&#948;&#953;&#954;&#959;&#973; &#928;&#949;&#955;&#940;&#964;&#951;";
$message="&#913;&#947;&#945;&#960;&#951;&#964;&#942;/&#941; $name, 

E-Mail: $email
&#922;&#969;&#948;&#953;&#954;&#972;&#962; &#928;&#949;&#955;&#940;&#964;&#951;: $pass

&#917;&#965;&#967;&#945;&#961;&#953;&#963;&#964;&#974;,
$webmaster";

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $yoursite<$youremail>\nX-Mailer:PHP/" .phpversion());
}
?>

That's your error.  You're making a query of the result or the error.  Also, you should be checking whether your query returns FALSE (if not a valid query, which is different from returning 0 rows), that way you know whether your result is a valid resource or a boolean value.

I'd say echo out the query where or before it errors and test for yourself directly (in MySQL or phpMyAdmin) and see what it returns.
