[SOLVED] Sending Login Info to User via E-Mail. HELP!!!

[SauloA]

I am trying to adjust the code below to send a user's username and password by inputting an e-mail in the text box and clicking submit.  The code below does work.  The code below resets a user's password and sends the new password to their email.  I don't want the password to reset and get sent, I just want the existing password to be sent.  Also, the email doesn't include the username cuz i don't know how to include it in the email.

 

The name of the table that holds the user's informatin in my database is "user_tbl".  The username, password, and email fields in "user_tbl" are named respectively "user_sname", "user_pass", and "user_email".  Please use these names when changing the code.

 

I've tried to change the code with my minimal knowledge of PHP several times but the results were a failure.  I've been trying to fix this issue for along time and have posted this topic a couple times on PHPfreaks.  Hopefully the problem will end here.  Thanks for the help.

redarrow I can't change your code to work with my specifications.  I modified it a little and when I push the submit button nothing happens.

 

Can someone tell me what the problem is?

Thanks anyways.  Hopefully I have helped those who have the same problem.
