Password format error

[Paulz]

Im getting passwords sent to users in the form of

 

Your password is: ?kw?I??

 

I want to change the characters so they are easily typed:

 

This has something to do with the mod:

signup_confirm_email

 

maybe something to do with the following code edit in catalog/create_account_process.php

 

>>>>>>>

Near the top, find:

 

 

require('includes/application_top.php');

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_PROCESS);

 

if (!isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'])) {

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT));

}

 

Below it add:

 

$newpass = tep_create_random_value(ENTRY_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH);

$encrypted_password = tep_encrypt_password($newpass);

 

A little below that, find:

 

$password = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['password']);

$confirmation = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['confirmation']);

 

Change these 2 lines to:

 

// $password = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['password']);

// $confirmation = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['confirmation']);

$password = $newpass;

$confirmation = $newpass;

 

Find:

 

$passlen = strlen($password);

if ($passlen < ENTRY_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH) {

$error = true;

$entry_password_error = true;

} else {

$entry_password_error = false;

}

 

if ($password != $confirmation) {

$error = true;

$entry_password_error = true;

}

 

 

Change it to:

 

/*

$passlen = strlen($password);

if ($passlen < ENTRY_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH) {

$error = true;

$entry_password_error = true;

} else {

$entry_password_error = false;

}

 

if ($password != $confirmation) {

$error = true;

$entry_password_error = true;

}

*/

 

Find:

 

$email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT

 

Change it to:

 

$email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_USERNAME . 'Your password is: <b>' . stripslashes($plain_pass) . '</b>' . "\n\n" . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT

 

Also change the line below it to read (Added By Ricky Woodbridge):

 

tep_mail($name, $email_address, $email_text, $email_subject, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

anyhelp appreciated

[Paulz]

Can someone please help me with this

 

why am i getting passwords sent in this format :

 

Your password is: t?H9J?L

 

 

:unsure:

[241]

What default language are you using?

[Paulz]

its set to english

[Paulz]

Urgently need some help with this

 

nearly ready for going live

 

any hints what it could be

[241]

possibly something in the encryption

 

$encrypted_password = tep_encrypt_password($newpass);

[Paulz]

Ive removed the mod signup_confirm_email and just realized Ive got the same problem with password forgotten email?

 

sending the same password format : eg: S?Cjt?T

 

I dont appear to have any other Character problems anywhere?

 

could this be a problem with my server ?

 

 

Also Im using osc2.2ms1

[Paulz]

Tried everything I can think of Its nothing obvious, the only setting I can think that relates to it is in includes/languages/english.php

 

// charset for web pages and emails

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

 

But that appears ok???

 

I decided to change the temp password to digits as below:

 

$new_password = tep_create_random_value(ENTRY_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH,'digits');

 

This worked OK.

 

Id still like to resolve this problem, any help would be much appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Paul

For anyone that has the same issue I resolved the problem.

 

as Im using osc2.2ms1, I checked out the /includes/languages/english.php in

2.2CVS to see if there any changes.

 

it suggested for available locales type locale -a on the server.

which I did and discovered as

 

en_GB

en_GB.iso885915

 

so I changed from : @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_GB.ISO_8859-1');

 

to @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_GB.iso885915');

 

and its worked! :D Normal passwords at last
