kevgais Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm about to send out a 100 invites to my website application via email and letter, in the letter I will give the domain url (www.sitename.com) I need away to track which of the invites have looked at the site. My idea is to issue a unique 5 digit number in each letter. The idea is that when the site is loaded some sort of popup login screen will appear (similar to http://www.maxkiesler.com/images/site_images/phatfusion-lightbox.png) the user will then have to enter their code to gain entry to the site. I need then to record this user in a table so I can report on it later. I have some experience with php and html but am looking for some advice on the best way to achive this? many thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanWhitehouse Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I suppose you can use a mysql database or you could do flat file, but don't expect us to write it for you , look into mysql databases and running mysql queries in php.

GKWelding Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Agree with above. Have a form that will not allow entry to the site until the user populates it with their email address plus this 5 digit key you assign to them. Have the entries updated into a MySQL database that way you can do pretty much anything you want with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
