Making change password

anyone knows how to code change password using php?

i got flat file for my co, my conquer path user is C:\OldCODB\Users
my conquer path characters is C:\OldCODB\Users\Characters


if you just give me hint or ideas on this, thanks for this in advance.

Ideas: I've actually never done php to the level you're talking about. I'd imagine it would be connecting to the database, retrieving the password, and then replacing it if it's correct or if their secret answer is correct.

I'm going to learn how to do that in December when my server is almost complete. =\ Sorry that I couldn't be of bigger help. Good luck!

Sincerely,

you would need a c# based website...as the epic webserver

I am not using epic webserver, Im just using my appserv and it doesn't need that epic, I dont know why but when im using my appserv its working fine, the epicwebserver has a bug maybe it has some error in the coding

you guys are all full of bullshit. you JUST need the php file website to be hosted on the computer where the server is being handled(Ex: Server status, player count etc)

I dont know much but I do know that just assign 3 values(strings)
assign $password to whatever they putin to be there real password and $newpassword as what they want there new password to be and $account to there account

Simply just try and validate there account exists
if the value is true open the file and see if it contains the string ($password) if it does then replace it with the new password if not then the password is wrong.

That's probably not the most efficient way to do it but it will work.

I would suggest if you want a password change on your site you have people register with the following...

Account Name:
Password:
Secret word/number:
Some other privacy thing:
possibly something else...

Then you would just need to make a page that people have to type all their info in etc like Dreadnaught said. It is not hard and if people stopped to think about things then they would realise that it is soo easy to make a few checks and a change here or there.

All your thoughts are useful thanks for that, but i just don't like the way you talk "BULSHIT" this forum use for learning, suggesting, opinion, Ideas, etc. not like the words you use "bulshit". but the rest thanks for your ideas it really helps alot.

I would suggest you have a read on google about php based forms and sql implementation, there will be lots of information about this topic.
