Your tutorials of php are the best in the internet. Thanks for the videos.

I think the way to probe the new password is over 25 and under 6 is doing it, make an "if" over //check two new passwords and put the check to new password inside " an else" write the strlen code like in registration page. Oh! and elimnate the md5 fomr the begining and make an md5 after checking strlen. I hope you understand my english.

what i did with this.. is made an Administrator only page.. using his tutorials =) and then made it so that the admins can change a users password by typing hte ID of the user and a new password..

Just have to change "SELECT password FROM users WHERE username='$user'"

to "SELECT password FROM users WHERE id='$id'"
and the id is equal to a post of the id ( $id = $_POST['id']; )

GOSH SO MUCH FOR TWO TUT'S.

but actually these are from 09, you should do some updates, like forgot password, and maybe some security updates.

[SkySkraper]

if you want to add string length you'll need to add it exactly like you did with the register.php page except obviously you'll change the variables from $password to $newpassword and from $repeatpassword to $repeatnewpassword. You don't encrypt the password in the "//check fields" section, instead you encrypt them in the "//encrypt password" section in the else statement below the statement.

You're awesome! You make it seem so simple. Thank you sooo much!

@digesteddonkey

also you have to change
"UPDATE users SET password='$password' WHERE id='$id'" hte SET query.

Refer to Alex's video on making register.php in that video he show you have to put parameters on inputs. for example the password must be at least 6 characters long

@sukkejens Like what? You now know how to change data stored in your database, so that covers a lot of profile editing. phpacademy also has a profile on uploading pictures to the database.

my new passwords are generating different md5 values and hence not getting updated in database. I also tried php password_hash function. A different has is created for both new password and repeat new password.

[VillieJoeGorra]

i didn't understand about that md5 hash code in part 2. i keep on having problems about that. could you explain it more clearer? can somebody help?

[gabelossustheth]

i got the same notice (not an error, a notice) i got a couple years back when i watched this series:

Notice: Undefined index: submit in ...\changepassword.php

this also happened on the register page, but everything works fine, its just annoying.

[NotTheBestPvP]

How do I actually check the length of the new password?

[MrHondros]

In regards to what your saying, I've tried it and it did not work.
Now unless ive done an error in my scripting, then I know im right.

[andyyIT]
