Hi all, how do i auto generate a password and with that password i send it over to the user email address automatically? Just like normal registration, where the user get their password in their email upon registering.

I am using dreamweaver. Thanks

What scripting lang do you use? asp, php, cgi, etc? Also what database?

You need to:
generate a random password
insert it and the username/email into a database
email the password to the user

Its all done with scripting. Or are you looking for an extansion(s) to handle this?

I am using asp. and my database is mysql. Any examples to show me? cos i really new to this. Thanks a lot. Or is there any extension that can do these?

do you have a user authentication system set up yet? There is one built in to DMX.

I'd say do that first. The random pass and email pieces are "extras" added to an authentication system -- not the basis of one.

yah. i had already done the user authentication part using one of the extension of Dreamweaver called Check Form.

But now is to do a auto generate password and send the password to the user email address automatically. These parts i am not sure. PLease help. thanks

Check Form is not a user auth system. It merely validates form input.

The only reason I point this out is because I need to know what your current setup is.

So how do i check?

Btw is there any asp scripts that can do this? thanks

The auth system is under server behaviors. Are you using .asp or .php?

I suggest you check out some of the tutorials
