User's can't reset passwords

[kballard]

Using phpmyfaq v 2.6.7 on MS SQL Server.

Can’t reset a users password
a. When a user attempst to reset their password, they're greeted with a blank page.
b. Doing a code trace, the problem is password.php calls a new PMF_mail() object, loaded from:
c. Inc\mail.php
i. Line 260 – I have a database entry for main.AdministrationMail but this errors anyway. Not sure what to do from here

Hey, I have a similar problem here, but this is related to the fact, that the emails cannot be sent to the recipients because the email address has a double << and >> around the name, like this: <<email@email.com>>
In the file inc\PMF_Mail\Builtin.php I just added the following line at line 66 (commented in the following example) - works for me like a charm:

Code: Select all

        // Prepare the headers for the e-mail
        $mailHeaders = '';
        foreach ($headers as $key => $value) {
            $mailHeaders .= $key.': '.$value."\r\n";
        }

        // Added by TH to remove the << and >> around the recipient email address
	$recipients = str_replace(array('<', '>'),'',$recipients);
        // Finished adding code

        // Send the e-mail
        if (empty($sender)) {
            return mail(
                $recipients,
                $subject,
                $body,
                $mailHeaders
            );

Hope it also helps you...

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi,

works here for me. Please check if the file is named inc/Mail.php otherwise the autoloader will break.

We tried both solutions, and are still not able to reset passwords. Setup information:
Browser: IE8/Firefox 3.6.x
Database: MS SQL 2008
Windows Server 2008
Mail Service: MS Exchange SMTP 2005

Hi,

do you have a file named Mail.php in the directory inc/ ?

Yes, we do.

Hi,

okay, I cannot reproduce this on my test systems... do you have any error log information for me?

We've switched over to MySQL, and this is working now. Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for the feedback... so it seems it's a MS SQL related issue. I'll try to investigate that.
