Change Password Function

almystersv · March 2, 2008

Hi Guys,

Can you let me know what I need to change in this piece of code that will only change the users password if they enter their current password correctly.

<?php
require "connect.php";
$empID = $_GET['empID'];
$password = $_GET['password'];
$password2 = $_GET['password2'];
$password3 = $_GET['password3'];

if(($password == $password2) || ($password3 == $_SESSION['password']))
{
	$query =  "update employee set password = '".$password2."' where empID = ".$empID;
	$result = @mysql_query($query, $connection) 
	or die ("Unable to perform query<br>$query");
	header("Location: changePasswordForm.php");
	exit();
}
else
{
	$message1 = "Unable to update Password";
	header("Location: changePasswordForm.php?message1=$message1");
	exit();
}
?>

Here is the form it is reading from

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['username']) == false){
	header("Location: login.php");
	exit();
}
require "connect.php";

$empID = $_SESSION['empID'];
$query =  "select * from employee where empID = " .$empID;
$result = @mysql_query($query, $connection) or die ("Unable to perform query<br>$query".mysql_error());
$row= mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
