Add a feature- Password change once logged in...
Hi,
How would I go about adding a feature in the 'members' area of my website which would allow a member to change their current password,
so there would be a box for their username, then old password, new password and verify new password.
Many thanks....

<cfif form.password neq form.verify>
Do a script telling that passwords do not match and send back to form
<cfabort>
</cfif>
<CFQUERY datasource="#Request.Datas
Update YourTable
SET Password = '#form.password#'
WHERE UserID = '#session.UserID#' <!--- or whatever your unique id is --->
and Password = '#form.oldpassword#'
</CFQUERY>
</cfif>
<CFQUERY datasource="#Request.Datas
Select fields
From YourTable
WHERE UserID = '#session.UserID#' <!--- or whatever your unique id is --->
</CFQUERY>
<cfoutput query="getUser">
<FORM ACTION="thispage" METHOD="post">
Current Password<br>
<input type="password" name="oldpassword" value="#password#"><br><br
New Password<br>
<input type="password" name="password" value=""><br><br>
Verify New Password<br>
<input type="password" name="verify" value=""><br><br>
