Want to Create a random password and mail it to the person who tried to register at your site? Here is a quick and easy example of how to do this task. It is fairly straight forward.
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<% username="New User Name"
mailid="user@ursite.com"
address="address"
'other data like phone number as per the member database in the site
'all these values are obtained from the request method from a .htm which submits to this
file
'Mainly employed in registration
'Assumes You have cdonts.dll installed in the web server.
set conn = server.CreateObject("adodb.connection")
conn.Open "dsn","uid","pwd"
set rec= conn.Execute("select count(*) from membertable")
id = cint(rec.fields(0))+1
r=rnd *50
Response.Write r & "<br>"
for i = 0 to 20
if cint(r)>0 and cint(r)<26 then str=str +chr(97 + cint(r))
r=rnd *100
next
Response.Write str
pwd=left(str,2)
pwd=pwd & id
pwd=pwd & right(str,2)
pwd=pwd & second(time)
%>
<br>
<%
set mail= server.CreateObject("cdonts.newmail")
mail.subject="Thank You for Registering"
mail.to = mailid
mail.from ="Webmaster@thesite"
mail.body= "This is the Initial Password to our site...." & vbcrlf & "Change it if You Want" &
vbcrlf & pwd & vbcrlf & "Thank You for Using the Site"
mail.send
%>
The New Pass word has been Mailed.
</BODY>
</HTML>
Of course the COM object we have decided to use is CDONTS, but others would also work just as easily!
