(Was with PERL) K, this script uses php to access poppassd to change users passwords via a form that I threw together quick, but there is a problem. The results of the php is that it successfully changes the password, but it actually does not change it. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this script is not functioning for me? ----------------------------------------------------- <? $cfgServer = "enigma.ministang.com"; $cfgPort = 106; $cfgTimeOut = 10; echo "<br>"; # open a socket first if(!$cfgTimeOut) # without timeout $poppass_handle = fsockopen($cfgServer, $cfgPort); else # with timeout $poppass_handle = fsockopen($cfgServer, $cfgPort, &$errno, &$errstr, $cfgTimeOut); if(!$poppass_handle) { echo " Connetion to server failed . <br> "; echo " Failed to Change Password "; exit(); } else { # now talking to the server to change password. fputs($poppass_handle, "user $username \r\n"); $tmpa = fgets($poppass_handle, 50); fputs($poppass_handle, "pass $curpass \r\n"); $tmpb = fgets($poppass_handle, 50); fputs($poppass_handle, "newpass $newpass \r\n"); $tmpc = fgets($poppass_handle, 3 ); $tmpd = fgets($poppass_handle, 3 ); #500 is first 3 characters returned by the poppassd #daemon if current password is incorrect if ($tmpc == 500) { echo "The Current Password you entered is incorrect <br>"; echo "Please go back and change your password again.
