On the mail.php page, specify in the SMTP settings configuration, what is meant by email and password? Is it the one that belongs to the personal gmail, and what is the account added to the host? Please respond as soon as possible.

[frankkaundamukhuni]

Thanks for your knowledge and your code I used them in signups and they worked for me perfect. And when are you planning to record a tutorial on how to create avater image

[slamanaim]

please in reset-password. php i don't understand if we must put $token_hash in the place of ? in the query $sql="select * from user where reset_token_hash=?"; because i think ? will replace $_get['token']
and in the table user we store reset token hash and not the token
help please
just i want a clarification
thx in advance

[martingronek]

really great content, thank you for that. It may be a stupid question but wouldn't it be easier to send the user to the sign-up page and skip the check if the email is already taken? (or just delete the user and let him sign up again)

[AbhishekBade]

could you please make a video on search algo like in a social media website where we can find people to connect with?

[ackinito]

Great content David, part 3 with 2FA with option to enable or disable it?

[dave-hollingworth]

What other related functionality would you like to see? Coming soon - account activation by email!

[ademineshat]

Great as always 👍
I know videos are made so that they can be easy to understand but, Maybe It would be better and more practical, instead of using files and require them like: $var = we can just create functions in one file and use them everywhere we need. 😊
