That should generate the password fine, but that code doesn't do anything with the password you've generated.

There are examples of update statements here: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_update.asp I'm not sure how your application accesses the database, so you'll need to figure that out first. Once you know that then you can use the $newcode variable to update the password in the database as long as you have the ID of the user to update. That ID may have been passed through the form or it may be stored in the session or somewhere else.
