Hi

I am new to PHP / mysql and I am using PHP-fusion to make a website.

There is only one thing I am missing that I need and that is for the users
password to expire after a set time, the next time they log on using their
current password it should prompt them to change it. To be honest it doesn't
even need to be time specific, if I needed to manually set a flag that
indicated the change is required that would be ok.

I have been looking for a mod or infusion to add the function but have not
found anything even close. Does anyone know of anything?

look at my response to weetat who asked about 'Email Authentication'. i
posted an indepth solution that should get you where you want to be...or at
least a good start.

the only thing you'd have to do is create a script that updates the user
table to set 'expired' where the 'updated' date is older than x number of
days. set that script on a cron job or a window scheduled task, and you're
set.

hth

btw, if you have a maintenance screen to manage your users, just put the
'expired' field as a checkbox and update the db when the form is submitted.
