Re: registration form with activation code sent to user

#2 Well when the user registers there will have to be a database table for members i assume, why not make a column confirmation or something and store this string there? #3 Check into the mail() function, this will allow you to send custom headers etc.. You just create the body of the message something like this $body = 'Thank you for registering with us<br>'; $body .= 'You must now confirm your email address by clicking here<http://yourdomain.com/confirm.php?email=users@domain.com&code=sdjfhasf80g7ad9fgfg> the actual url for the clicking here link you need to create maybe something like <a href=" yourdomain.com/confirm.php?email=users@domain.com&code=sdjfhasf80g7ad9fgfg"<http://yourdomain.com/confirm.php?email=users@domain.com&code=sdjfhasf80g7ad9fgfg">>clicking here</a> then you use the mail() function to send the mail to the users email address... on the confirm.php page you should grabe the "code" and "email" using $_GET['code'] and $_GET['email'] then check the database for the users email and make sure the code matches the one in the database. If it does mark them as confirmed and let them proceed, if not well do nothing. -- Joseph Crawford Jr. Codebowl Solutions codebowl@gmail.com
