my script not running

i have two scripts that are not running to reset a password that has been forgotten and the other to change old password.

here are the scripts.

change_passwd.php

<?
require_once("system_fns.php");
session_start();
do_html_header("Changing password");
//check_valid_user();
$new_passwd=($_POST['new_passwd']);
$new_passwd2=($_POST['new_passwd2']);
if (!filled_out($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
echo "You have not filled out the form completely.
Please try again.";
display_user_menu();
//do_html_footer();
exit;
}
else
{
if ($new_passwd!=$new_passwd2)
echo "Passwords entered were not the same. Not changed.";
else if (strlen($new_passwd)>16 || strlen($new_passwd)<6)
echo "New password must be between 6 and 16 characters. Try again.";
else
{
// attempt update
if (change_password($valid_user, $old_passwd, $new_passwd))
echo "Password changed.";
else
echo "Password could not be changed.";
}


}
display_user_menu();
//do_html_footer();
?>

error warnings from this code are.

}

function notify_password($username, $passwd)

return false;

else if (mysql_num_rows($result)==0)

else
{
$email = mysql_result($result, 0, "email");
$from = "From: support@learning_system \r\n";
$mesg = "Your password has been changed to $password \r\n"
."Please change it next time you log in. \r\n";
if (mail($email, "Learning System login information", $mesg, $from))
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
?>
