I'm trying to have a password reset request where a link is emailed to the user to reset their password on my site, but the PHP file isn't picking up the values from my form. I orginally embedded the form in my PHP just to get the method to work, but for my formatting, I need to have the form separate. It worked with the form embeded, but won't work if I have my form separate in my HTML. My form HTML--
<form action="" method="post">
<p>Email Address: <input type="email" name="email" size="50" maxlength="255">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Get New Password"></p>
</form>
And my PHP file ("settings.php" is my database file)--
<?php
$email=$_GET['email'];
include("settings.php");
connect();
$q="select email from users where email='".$email."'";
$r=mysql_query($q);
$n=mysql_num_rows($r);
if($n==0){echo "Email id is not registered";die();}
$token=getRandomString(10);
$q="insert into tokens (token,email) values ('".$token."','".$email."')";
mysql_query($q);
function getRandomString($length)
{
$validCharacters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUXYVWZ123456789";
$validCharNumber = strlen($validCharacters);
$result = "";
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$index = mt_rand(0, $validCharNumber - 1);
$result .= $validCharacters[$index];
}
return $result;}
function mailresetlink($to,$token){
$subject = "Forgot Password";
$uri = 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ;
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Forgot Password</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Click on the given link to reset your password <a href="'.$uri.'/reset.php?token='.$token.'">Reset Password</a></p>
</body>
</html>
';
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Admin<noreply@ca>' . "\r\n";
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)){
echo "We have sent the password reset link to your email id <b>".$to." </b>";
}}
if(isset($_GET['email']))mailresetlink($email,$token);
?>
