Hi,

I am having problem with running generatingPassword ()

please let me know if this is wrong method of defining.....and plz tell me the correct way....

Erro: Call to undefined method forgotpass::generatePassword()

Coding: $newpass = $this->generatePassword(6);

Thanks in advance for your help.

The error message means that the generatePassword() method does not exist in the forgotpass class. The syntax of the code you posted is correct, but the method does not exist.

Thanks NullPointer,

Please let me know if this is correct method:

function generatePassword ($length = 8)
{


$password = "";


$possible = "0123456789bcdfghjkmnpqrstvwxyz";


$i = 0;


while ($i < $length) {


$char = substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);


if (!strstr($password, $char)) {
$password .= $char;
$i++;
}

}


return $password;

}

You cannot refer to object through $this outside the class. You should first create instance of a class and then call its method:

$generator = new forgotpass();
$password = $generator->generatePassword();

Hi mtishetsky,

$this is defined under the class forgotpass, its not out.

Here's the full coading.....please let me know where is the mistake.

thanks

PHP Code:

<?php
class forgotpass extends functions
{
    function forgotpass($post)   //For forgot password.
    {    
        $newpass = $this->generatePassword(8);
        
        $sql_select = "select * from tbladmin where admin_name = '".$post['username']."'";
        $result_select = mysql_query($sql_select);
        $numrows = mysql_num_rows($result_select);
        
        if($numrows){
            $sql_edit = "update tbladmin set `admin_pass`='".($newpass)."' where admin_name = '".$post['username']."'";
            $result_edit  = mysql_query($sql_edit);
            $this->forgotpass_mail($post['username'],$newpass);
            $_SESSION["msg"] = "Password reset successfully. Please check your mail for new login details.";
        }
        else
            $_SESSION["msg"] = "Invalid ! username. Please enter the correct one.";
        return true;
    }
    
    function forgotpass_mail($username,$pass)  // send the userid and passsword to the admin.
    {
        $fromname = "DialIndiaDial - Support";
        $fromemail = "danish@dialindiadial.com";
        $toname = "DialIndiaDial - Admin";
        $toemail = "danish@dialindiadial.com";
        //$bcc = "danish@magicsolv.com";
        //$bcc = "";
        $subject = "DialIndiaDial - Forgot Password Request";
        
        $message = "Dear Administrator,<br><br>
        
    Your password has been reset successfully. Here are your new login details:<br><br>
    
Username : ".$username."<br>

<br><br>

";
        $this->send_mail($fromname, $fromemail, $toname, $toemail,$bcc, $subject, $message);
    }
}

function generatePassword ($length = 8)
{

  
  $password = "";

  
  $possible = "0123456789bcdfghjkmnpqrstvwxyz"; 
    
  
  $i = 0; 
    
  
  while ($i < $length) { 

    
    $char = substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);
        
    
    if (!strstr($password, $char)) { 
      $password .= $char;
      $i++;
    }

  }

  
  return $password;

}
?>

As far as I see, you have generatePassword function declared outside of the class, so it is not the class method. No wonder that you get "undefined method" error.
