Im wanting to set up a form so when some one click on submit it creates a password for them and puts it into the database and then sends it to their email address. Does anyone know of any tutorials for this or what mail clients I can use I know theirs Jmail but Im on a linux sevrer and I think thats only for windows. Any help would be appreciated. What would I type to get a random assortment of letteres and number.

Thanks
Keith

When your linux server supports PHP and you are using UltraDev, then download PHAkt: www.interakt.ro/phakt . PHAkt is the PHP server model for UltraDev and enables you to generate PHP pages.

We have some php mail extensions in our Extensions section that might help you on your way.

To generate a random password using PHP you could try :-

<?php
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$characters = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9";
// symbols where are allowed in the password
$characters_length = (strlen($characters)-1)/2;
$token = explode(",",$characters);
$pass_length=8; // length of the password
for($i=0;$i<$pass_length;$i++) {
$rand = rand(0,$characters_length);
$password.= $token[$rand];
}

echo "$password";
?>
