Hey I am trying to create forget password feature. When a user forget the login password an email address must be send to his/her email with a password reset link. I wonder how to do so?

I have the user password stored in the database I can retrive it easily. I just do no know how to create a program that is able to send email to all email address. As far as now, I only able to send email to gmail.

Your Google SMTP account can send email to any address - if you are able to send email to yourself on Google without getting any warning bars at the top of the email view, it will work with any other email address as well. If you do get any of Google's yellow warning bars about the email not being from who it says it is from, or other errors. Post those and maybe we can help figure out what is wrong.

Looks like you are working on your local computer. This is why you need php smpt mailer.. If you are on a live web server with sendmail instalaled you can use php mail() function to send email's without using your google account

Example:

$from = 'no-reply@domain.dev'; // sender
$to = 'someone@domain.dev';
$subject = 'Password Reset';
$message = 'password';

if(mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\n")){
echo "Thank you for sending us feedback";
}

I thought it suppose to work also with PHPMailer - I am using a web server (I upload all my files there).

davy_yg 2 Posting Whiz · Answer 3 · 2014-10-20T09:00:05+00:00

I try this:

sendpassword.php

<?php


    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $from = 'no-reply@domain.dev'; // sender
    $to = 'squprime@indonusa.net.id';
    $subject = 'Password Reset';
    $message = 'password';
    if(mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\n")){
    echo "Thank you for sending us feedback";
    }


?>

php.ini

[mail function]
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587
;smtp_port = 465

I check my email and still have not receive any email message.
