Youtube wont let me post the link.

----- How to get the script -----

1. Google SMTPmail 9lessons and it should be the first link click it

2. Scroll down untill you see " Download Script " click it, it should take you to a download

page: with the filename (SMTPmail.zip)

3. click the download button

[13firebug13]

@alimunth

If you mean the mail server goto:

google smtp server list

or tell me you email provider and ill tell you the server

And just type in your mail provider (Eg. windows live)

That server is smtp.live.com

alimunth@hotmail.com

alimunth@yahoo.com

oh no! Mysql doesn't update the database anymore! What did I do wrong!?!?

[114makoto]

@114makoto I got solved after looking in other forums. I dropped the table, made a new one and it works again.

[jimjimmy1995]

I don't know my mailhost... i've tried everything

.

[jimjimmy1995]

@jimjimmy1995 nvm

[jimjimmy1995]

Why not just do $id = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$username'"); instead of grabbing the last id. The last id would present problems if someone registered milliseconds after the last person.

lool

[FraNcoTirAdoRgaming]

i love how you pronounce mail-function  --> malfunction :D

[PartyDoffy]

how to you remember all these codes...

[TechnoXeroz]

@PartyDoffy

its hard at the beginning, but when you thinking like the php structure you will start understanding it better. Its alot of functions that I have hard to remember but if you got a structure of want you want, then go after that and code part after part, then you will have a good result

[PartyDoffy]

@TechnoXeroz ok thanks :D

[matrixITALIA]

[danshader]

everything works pretty well till i reach the part with SMTP. got lost on this part.

[janapana007]

@danshader he i am stuck on the same stage. i recive a email but no data is comming through

[danshader]

@janapana007 i manage to solve mine it works just that you need a server that supports mail() and has smtp available

[janapana007]

@danshader thanks for your reply. I will check that out, will let you know what happens. Thanks again.

[janapana007]

@danshader what do i need to put in the hearder is it my website url

[danshader]

@janapana007 your email as in the one provided by the server(free hosting) you are using or the one you have from your own server registered.

[computertrick]

all good but the host im using gmail requires a port so how do i do this for smtp

[ookamiwolf97]

how did you're making that with 'change password'?

[computertrick]

@ookamiwolf97 Change password uses the update function research on the mysql update function

[ookamiwolf97]

@computertrick ok thanks

[mayday82]

I'm wondering if someone can use some scripts on the activate.php page to randomly activate other ppl acc or mess up my db.

[omanoman98]

Very enthusiastic to see the next part!

Many thanks Alex!
