essentially, yes. you'd also want to make sure the user is logged in and make them enter their old password to make sure they didn't just forget to logout and someone else is changing their password...



please note that the above post is likely made up in its entirety.

Try something like this:

Change Form:

Code:


<form action="& lt;? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method=post>
<input type="hid den" name="use rname" value="&l t;?php echo $_SESSION['use rname']; ?>"> ;
<table> <tr><t d colspan=2>&l t;p>Change Password</td ></tr>
<tr><t d><p>O ld password:</t d>
<td><i nput type="pas sword" name="old _password" ; size=16 maxlength=16> ;</td>< ;/tr>
<tr><t d><p>N ew password:</t d>
<td><i nput type="pas sword" name="new _password" ; size=16 maxlength=16> ;</td>< ;/tr>
<tr><t d colspan=2>&l t;input name="sub mit" type="sub mit" value="Ch ange password" >
</td>< /tr>
</table>< br /> </form>



and in your header:

Code:

function change_member_p assword($userna me, $old_password, $new_password)< br /> {
//First check if username & password match in database.
$result = mysql_query(&q uot;SELECT * from members WHERE username = '$username' and user_password = '".md5($ _POST['old_pas sword']).&quo t;'"); if (!$result)
//return false;
echo "<p style=\" color:white\& quot;>cannot match at database" ;
//exit;

if (mysql_num_rows ($result)>0)
{
// if the old password is right, change their password to new_password and return true
$result = mysql_query(&q uot;UPDATE members SET user_password = '".md5($ _POST['new_pas sword']).&quo t;' where username = '$username'& quot;);
if (!$result) {
echo "Password could not be updated";
} // not changed
else {
echo "Password successfully changed";
} // changed successfully
}
else {
echo "Old Password not correct." ;
} // Wrong old password
}

if(isset($HTTP _POST_VARS['su bmit']))
{
change_member_p assword($_POST[ 'username'], $_POST['old_pa ssword'], $_POST['new_pa ssword']);
}



It would prolly make sense to make a page called "change_p assword.php&qu ot; and have all this code on that one page. This way you don't need to change any other pages.

So full page would look like this:

Code:

<?php
session_start() ;
include(" includes.php&q uot;);
header_page();< br />
function change_member_p assword($userna me, $old_password, $new_password) //change password script
{
//First check if username & password match in database.
$result = mysql_query(&q uot;SELECT * from members WHERE username = '$username' and user_password = '".md5($ _POST['old_pas sword']).&quo t;'"); if (!$result)
echo "<p style=\" color:white\& quot;>cannot match at database" ;

if (mysql_num_rows ($result)>0)
{
// if the old password is right, change their password to new_password and return true
$result = mysql_query(&q uot;UPDATE members SET user_password = '".md5($ _POST['new_pas sword']).&quo t;' where username = '$username'& quot;);
if (!$result) {
echo "Password could not be updated";
} // not changed
else {
echo "Password successfully changed";
} // changed successfully
}
else {
echo "Old Password not correct." ;
} // Wrong old password
}

if(isset($HTTP _POST_VARS['su bmit'])) //make sure page was submitted
{
change_member_p assword($_POST[ 'username'], $_POST['old_pa ssword'], $_POST['new_pa ssword']);
}

// Main Content
?>

<form action="& lt;? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method=post>
<input type="hid den" name="use rname" value="&l t;?php echo $_SESSION['use rname']; ?>"> ;
<table> <tr><t d colspan=2>&l t;p>Change Password</td ></tr>
<tr><t d><p>O ld password:</t d>
<td><i nput type="pas sword" name="old _password" ; size=16 maxlength=16> ;</td>< ;/tr>
<tr><t d><p>N ew password:</t d>
<td><i nput type="pas sword" name="new _password" ; size=16 maxlength=16> ;</td>< ;/tr>
<tr><t d colspan=2>&l t;input name="sub mit" type="sub mit" value="Ch ange password" >
</td>< /tr>
</table>< br /> </form>
<?php
footer();
?>



Just pretty up the output to match your site. Add confirmations and prolly add something to double check that the form fields are not empty. But this should work for you.
