Hi there,

I am trying to create a 'resend password' function as my members get a little confused sometimes (just as I am now!)...ah the irony!

In any case, the below code gets me to my output html template, however; I also want it to send details to the member via e-mail.

The below code gives me an e-mail and information in the subject line... but I don't know how to get information from let's say a .txt template with the message I want to say. any advice?

Here's the part that actually work's: go to www.yourstocktips.com.au/forgotpass.htm and type in "Nala" as the user name (dummy account).

Thanks!

Here's the code:

###############################
# Send password
###############################
sub pm_send_password
{
 open (DATABASE, "<${root}$database") or print $!;
 if($flocking) {flock DATABASE, 2;}

 while(($thisrow = <DATABASE>))
 {
    if ($thisrow =~ m/^$input{'login'}\|(.*)/)
     {
     &init($thisrow);
    &sendemail($values{'email'}, $from, $subject_lost_password, &tempw
+iz_to_from);
     $sent = 1;
     }
 }
 if($flocking) {flock DATABASE, 8;}
 close DATABASE; 
 if(!$sent){&init_errors; &err($error_message{'login not found'});exit
+;}
 $input{'action'} = "lost_password_sent";
 &tempwiz;
 exit;
}
