The same as any other string. echo $sql;

stripslashes.

You just need to generate a random string, store this along with the email address within a database. You then send an email with the link.... http://yoursite.com/confirm.php?id=somerandomstring In confirm.php, check for this random string and update verified from 0 to 1.

Each to their own I suppose then. It's pretty difficult to ignore the gang of four when you program in OOP.

Your description really is still pretty vague.

You would need to do this with permissions associated with a users login. there is nothing you can do to stop a user changing values within a url, you need to lock down what is retrieved by doing so though.

Sorry, I don't play games. This board is for help with third party code, not help finding it.

PHP isn't exactly a very appropriate language for writing that sort of thing with. I would doubt very much there would be much (if any) around.

Databases are specifically designed to store, search and retrieve data. You'll be hard pressed finding systems more efficient for doing so.

There is nothing inherently insecure about having mod_rewrite enabled, that's not to say it is secure either. Like most things to relating to servers, care must be taken to configure it properly.

Your friend doesn't know what they are talking about.

Pardon?

I wouldn't say that. If your not spaming, you've nothing to worry about. eg; People who come here and post links to some blog / site in all of there first 10 posts = spam. People who are in all honesty helping someone by pointing them to a remote resource on occasion = helpful.

Sorry to say, but your code is seriously all over the shop. To start with, can you indent it consistently so the rest of us can read it? Then we can probably start finding the issues. I'm sure you don't actually need those while loops for starters, and numbers should not be surrounded by quotes in php (or any programming language really), quotes are for strings.

Linking to your blog on occasion is likely acceptable. Continuously doing it however, will likely end up being considered spam. Its really up to the discretion of the mods / admins at the time based on what your linking too, how often your linking to it and how much give there willing to let you have.

Whatever board you choose will have tutorials available for customizing and integrating into your site. Asking for help in a php programming board is pretty off topic IMO.

Its quite obvious the op has been misinformed, and hasn't bothered to find out what Ajax actually is.
