When someone signs up, store a unique value token in your membership table. Then people would access your membership-confirmation page using something like: http://www.example.com/membership.php?token=something Then delete token from your db and redirect to welcome page. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* To err is human, to moo bovine. */
