Thanks for the link.
I followed all the steps. Everything acts like it is working - it processes the information - sends the email with passcode - and clicking the passcode process and deletes from the temp db table, however it doesn't write the new password to the old database table. Below is the code, am I missing something? The one thing I can question is I have a lot more fields in the db table that I want to write beside the first name, last name, password and userid - which is there email, would that be the problem?
Thanks for helping!!!
<?
include('db.php');
// Passkey that got from link
$passkey=$_GET['passkey'];
$tbl_name1="temp_applicants";
// Retrieve data from table where row that match this passkey
$sql1="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name1 WHERE confirmation_code ='$passkey'";
$result1=mysql_query($sql1);
// If successfully queried
if($result1){
// Count how many row has this passkey
$count=mysql_num_rows($result1);
// if found this passkey in our database, retrieve data from table "temp_applicants"
if($count==1){
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result1);
$first_name=$rows['first_name'];
$userid=$rows['userid'];
$password=$rows['password'];
$last_name=$rows['last_name'];
$tbl_name2="astro_applicants";
// Insert data that retrieves from "temp_applicants" into table "astro_applicants"
$sql2="INSERT INTO $tbl_name2(userid, password, first_name, last_name)VALUES('$userid', '$password', '$first_name', '$last_name')";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);
}
// if not found passkey, display message "Wrong Confirmation code"
else {
echo "Wrong Confirmation code";
}
// if successfully moved data from table"temp_applicants" to table "astro_applicants" displays message "Your account has been activated" and don't forget to delete confirmation code from table "temp_applicants"
if($result2){
echo "Your account has been activated";
// Delete information of this user from table "temp_applicants" that has this passkey
$sql3="DELETE FROM $tbl_name1 WHERE confirmation_code = '$passkey'";
$result3=mysql_query($sql3);
}
}
?>
