Well, if your friend made it, i’d have him come over and troubleshoot it.

change
mail($email,“Password Reset - “.$set[‘site_name’], $emconts, “From: admin@”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’].”/nX-Mailer: GeN2”);

$contents = "

";

$show_login=0;

to
[php]$sent = mail($email,“Password Reset - “.$set[‘site_name’], $emconts, “From: admin@”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’].”/nX-Mailer: GeN2”);
if($sent) {

That’ll add the proper confirmation. as you have it, you’ll get it even if it didn’t get sent out, which does’t help any if you’re trying to troubleshoot it.

And is this a windows or a linux host? it does make a difference because there’s a bug with the mail() function that hasn’t been resolved.

i have install this script on linux hosting.

Should i add anywhere in script my email id so that email can send from my email id?

$sent = mail($email,“Password Reset - “.$set[‘site_name’], $emconts, “From: admin@”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’].”/nX-Mailer: GeN2”);

Alot of free web-hosts also don’t allow mail() to be used. That could easily be your problem.
