Thanks for all the help and advice, I got everything working fine with sessions and what not.
Now I am back asking for help writing some scripts if anyone is willing... I am unsure how to write the code, with the exception of the random md5 password which I found on the net, I just don't know how to incorporate it. Like always, any and all help is welcomed and appreciated.
My Goal Is To :
A: send a link to a user w/ a temp generated pass
B: Once the user logs in they will be directed to a reset.php which will ask for their
username and new password
C: Send another email with their new password
Code for Random md5 password:
