thank you very much for your contribution, but as I had said before im new
to PHP all together and do not fully understand your step 4
"4. Once the setup is done, go into your IIS Server Manager and drop down
to the website that you wish to install PHP for. Set it up as you would
under a IIS5 server (Application Configuration, ISAPI Mappings) and setup
the php.exe to run the .php files. (You can do the same for .phps if you
wish.)"
could someone please explain this step by step as Im not familiar with the
steps .....again thank you for your time ...

this is the error I get ....
"Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-chi-redirect enabled. This means
that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is
set, a.go. via an Apache Action directive.
For more information as to why this behavior exists, see the manual page for
CGI security.
For more information about changing this behavior or re-enabling this web,
consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit the
manual page."

Disregard last email. This is the one pointing out that you are using
Apache and not Microsoft's IIS 6.0 Server.
Line to look at: set, a.go. via an Apache Action directive.
You are now entering into different category, as this is not just .Net
related (this is auctually probably only NTFS permissions related and
something to do with your Apache conf) and not IIS related. If you were
using IIS, you would understand 100% step 4 in the how-to, but since you are
not using IIS, you are confused. I refuse to use Apache on any Microsoft
box, as that's just wrong IMHO. IIS = Microsoft. Apache != Microsoft.
Apache = Open Source = *nix/BSD
That's just my 2 cents though.
/me drops 2 old pennies into the jar

Nick H.

Hi!
I have a textfield wich allows any number of integers seperated with " ",
"," or "-"...
I need this input to be formated in two steps:
First into a sequence of numbers into an array, lowest first... Second to
the correct form of the initial input...
Example:
User input: "1,3, 3-6, 8" (string)
First step: 1,3,4,5,6,8 (array)
second step: "1,3-6,8" (string)
please help me with this one! I don't mind using ereg-functions though I'm
not good at it myself...

what command are you using to change the password?
*if you are using GRANT then you don't need to use PASSWORD() function,
unless you use IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause
*if you are using INSERT or SET then you need to use PASSWORD() function to
encrypt the password.
see the actual password stored in database and compare it with encrypted
user password [
PASSWORD('userpasssword')], both should match.
hope that helps!
regds,

Subject: script not allowing login after generating new password
Hi, I'm new in this list and to PHP and MySQL. I'd welcome any help you
can give.
I'm working on a simple application where a registered user submits a
"forgot my password" form. The script is supposed to generate a random
new password, write it to the database, and send it to the user. Then
they can log in with the new password and they're off and running.
Here's what happens now: The password generator works fine - it creates
a random string any length I want. The password field in the database
gets changed - not to the new random string but apparently to an
encrypted version of it via the MySQL password() function. The script
returns the user a notice of the new password. BUT, login with the new
password fails!
I'm reluctant to ask you to do my debugging but I'm almost brain dead
after hours of trying to figure this out. Can someone suggest where I
might look for the problem? I'll include my scripts in a reply if
needed.
Thanks very much in advance.
Jim

jim
with my veeeery little experteez what i do is
$password= time();
store this password into db
and mail it out to the member ....
all in the same file :)
what this does is not only a unique password for all my members its
also pretty difficult to apprehend ..... let alone anythin else
hope this helps
good luck
toby ......

I believe I have the supreme right to classify my
own questions as stupid as I will and feel for. ;)
But next time I can write
"A brilliant question: <blah> <blah>?"
to make everybody happy. :)

Thanks for all your help.
I performed some tests sent to me by other responders and still no luck.
But in the mean time I also discovered that I was passing the user
results of the wrong function! I changed how I report the new password
to the user and it works now.
In hind-sight it was painfully obvious. I have a lot to learn about
testing and debugging!
Thank you for your time.
Jim
