I'm new to PHP, and would like to know if there is a code snippet for emailing a lost password to a subcriber?

First, we must assume that you are currently storing the username/login, password and the email address in a mySQL table. Once we know the username/login, we simply use that to locate the password and utilize the mail() function to send it. 

Your snippet would be something like this :

  $result = mysql_query ("SELECT password,email FROM yourtable WHERE username = '$username'");
  if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
    $mailaddress = $myrow["email"];
    $subject = "Important Message"; // don't say password in subject
    $message = "Your password is: " . $myrow["password"] ;
    $header = "Ancillary message or other stuff";
    mail($mailaddress,$subject,$message,$header);
  }

Hope this is helpful.
