Two days ago, I have taught you the 2nd part. Today, I will teach you the third part.

Request Account Recovery

It is a tool which can request your recovery account for recover your account using steemconnect. Follow the steps to make request account recovery…

First, create a file requestrecovery.php in the home directory. Then write down the below codes. It is simmilar like changerecovery.php tool.

• Include header file : include() is a PHP function. The Include() function is used to put data of one PHP file into another PHP file. If errors occur then the include() function produces a warning but does not stop the execution of the script i.e. the script will continue to execute.

The header file is not so important. So use this function.

<?php
include ('include/header.php'); // Include header file
include ('include/nav.php'); //Include navigation bar file 
?>

Username and recovery account input form:
For request account recovery with steemconnect, You must input 4 data. These are-

• Your steemit username.
• Recovery account username.
• New owner authority.
• Extensions. ( Its default value is [] . So skip it in form.)

Create a bootstrap form with three input box and a submit button.

(html comment removed:  Form start Here )
   <form action="" method="post" >

(html comment removed:  Username Input box )
      <div class="form-group">
        <div class="input-group mb-2 mr-sm-2"> 
          <div class="input-group-prepend">
           <div class="input-group-text">@</div> 
           </div>         
      <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" placeholder="username"> </div> </div>

(html comment removed:  Recovery Account Input Box)
 <div class="form-group">
      <div class="input-group mb-2 mr-sm-2"> 
      <div class="input-group-prepend"> <div class="input-group-text">@</div> </div> 
      <input type="text" class="form-control" name="recovery" placeholder="Recovery Account username"> </div> </div>

(html comment removed:  New Owner Authority Input Box)
 <div class="form-group">
      <div class="input-group mb-2 mr-sm-2"> 
      <div class="input-group-prepend"> <div class="input-group-text">@</div> </div> 
      <input type="text" class="form-control" name="new" placeholder="New owner authority's username"> </div> </div>

(html comment removed:  Submit Button )
<div class="form-group">
 <button align="center" name="submit" class="btn btn-primary mb-2">Submit</button> 
 </div>
 </form>
(html comment removed:  End form )

Php functions :Now you have to write some php functions to run the tool. These are-

• Get data from HTML form using the POST method. Then store them in different variables.

<?php
if($_POST)
{
$recovery = $_POST["recovery"];   // recovery account username
$username = $_POST["username"];     // account to recover username
$new = $_POST["new"];     // new owner authority

Here if($_POST){} means when someone post using HTML form, all the functions inside {} will run.

• Generate steemconnect URL :
  For changing recovery account steemconnect need 3 input. These are -

1. account_to_recover: Your steem account username.
2. recovery_account: Your steem account's recovery account.
3. new_owner_authority : New Owner username.
4. extensions: I don't know what is it. But its default value is []

Write this code to generate a steemconnect URL

$ext = "[]";  // extension
$api = "https://app.steemconnect.com/sign/request_account_recovery?recovery_account=$recovery&account_to_recover=$username&new_owner_authority=$new&extensions=$ext";   // steemconnect Api

• Redirect to steemconnect: Finally, you have to redirect to steemconnect URL for confirming the transaction.

header("Location: $api");   // redirect to steemconnect
}
?>

Include footer : Include your footer file

<?php
include ('include/footer.php');
  //include footer
?>

Download The file from github

---

---

Input your username in first box. Then input your recovery account username in the second box. Then input new account authority in the last box.

---

---

Finally click on "submit" button.

The tool will redirect to steemconnect and show all values. Then click on "continue".

---
