Random Password on register

This generates a random password and sends it along with the activation email that users are sent. For this to work you must have verify email enabled. You obviously don't want to send a random password to an email which might not exist.

hack suggested by psico.

Note this is not as advanced as the one by bira, it simply sends a random password on register, it doesn't sent a random pass if they change email.

now includes an option to turn the random password option on and off within the admin cpanel.

On installing all works fine, but an error is showing up on top of the registration page:

Parse error: parse error in /home/sites/home/web/forum/register.php(198) : eval()'d code on line 3


I Installed as per Instructions?

Any help?

[Scott MacVicar]

can you paste to me whats on that line, i can't seem to think what would cause that error.

[The Realist]

Its blank, nothing on there?

[Scott MacVicar]

the line above and below that then it will obviously be an eval function and i need to see what template and what the eval function parameters look like.

This is the begining of the register.php and also a pic of the error.

<?php
error_reporting(7);

$templatesused = "signupadult,signupverify,modifyoptions_maxposts,r egister_birthday,modifyoptions_styleset,register_s tylecell,register_customfields,registeradult,regis tercoppa,email_newuser,emailsubject_newuser,email_ activateaccount,emailsubject_activateaccount,redir ect_registerthanks";

require("./global.php");

if ((!isset($action) or $action=="") and (!isset($a) or $a=="")) {
$action="check";
}

if ($url==$HTTP_REFERER) {
$url=urlencode($url);
}

Thanks,
