The %7 and similar are used in URL encoding to represent illegal characters
such as spaces and others - these are translated when the user clicks to
open the URL, giving the string you get back......... I think

Subject: [PHP-DB] Special URL Verification String...
I am trying to implement an approval system that sends an e-mail to
a user for approval linking them back to a special URL that matches database
entries for a verification string. The verification string sent via the
e-mail does not match that in the database and I am looking for help in
figuring out why. Here is what generates the verification string:
$verify_string = $sbcuid;
for ($i = 0 ; $i < 14; $i++) {
$verify_string .= chr(mt_rand(32,126));
}
Here is what this results in inside the database table:
sn4265e~zD|W(XTMxO"+
Here is what is sent in the e-mail:
sn4265e%7EzD%7CW%28XTMxO%22%2B
I know that I am doing something wrong here, but what. Thanks in
advance.
