'Invalid password' error message

[seivadeel]

I am very very very new to PHP, so I need a solution to my problem in layman's language, please!

 

Basically, the problem's this:

 

When people register on my site, they are automatically sent their login details as you would expect. However, when they then try to login, they get the error message 'invalid password', even though I've checked PhPAdmin & the passwords are there!

 

What is happening?

 

Please help!

We need to see the relevent code.

Not really sure without see your script. Post the most relevant bits of code here.

Here is the script:

 

Login

 

 

Username: error('user'); ?>

Password: " /> error("pass"); ?>

value('remember') != ""){ echo "checked"; } ?> /> Remember me next time   

 

[Forgot Password?]

 

 

 

generateRandStr(; $password=md5($newpass); include('scripts/mysql_class.php'); $DB = new mysql(); $connected = $DB->Connect(); // check username duplicates and add numbers to end $username_sql = "SELECT username FROM users WHERE username LIKE '$new_username%' ORDER BY username ASC"; $username_query = $DB->Query($username_sql); while($username_array = $DB->FetchArray($username_query)) { extract($username_array); } if ($count!=0) { if ($username==$new_username) { $new_username=$username."_1"; } else { list($name, $number) = explode('_', $username); $new_number=$number+1; $new_username=$new_username."_".$new_number; } } $sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, password, email, userlevel, joined, paid, currency) VALUES ('$new_username', 'from passback', '$payer_email', '1', '$today', '$amount', '$currency')"; $query = $DB->Query($sql); $message_txt="Dear $new_username/n/nThanks for joining The English Boutique/n/nYou can login in anytime by going to www.theenglishboutique.com/members.php/n/nYour account name is $username/nYour password is:$newpass/n/nWe hope you and your students find our teaching materials useful.

Er...sorry - does this help?

 

Not really. You might want to narrow your problem down and post the relevent code. Please use the full <?php tags when posting (its good practice anyway) and then place your code within [ code ][ /code ] (without the spaces) tags.

 

Also, as it seems you may be new to help forums... a quick read of the link in my signiture may help you. Its your job to make it easy for us to want to help you.

[wildteen88]

DO not repost your code seivadeel I have wrap your code in code tags, but yeah please post the relevent parts as thorpes said.

 

Also thorpe when posting bbcode syntax in the forum use the [nobbc][/nobbc] tags, so [nobbc]

[/nobbc] will produce
