[SOLVED] adding a email verification to my register script

[chris_s_22]

i want to add a feature that when registering it sends a email with a code/link to verify that there email address is real and is in use. then when the email link is click registration is then activated and only then will they be able to login sucessfully

 

i understand that this as a lot of steps so heres where i up to and ill keep u posted

ive added a email address: feild to the registration form

ive added a email and register feild to the database table.

 

im now at the step that when people register only the login and password details are added to the database, i thought it was a case of just expanding

 

user_register ($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']);

to include the email for example

user_register ($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']);

 

but this hasnt worked, am i doing something wrong or do i have do do something else?

 

please note i am very new to php so try to keep things as simple. i dont want a new script im happy to work with what i have got, as im starting to understand it properly.

 

my msn addy is pinkangel_@hotmail.co.uk please feel free to add me if u like to go through it with me.

user_register() is a function, we don't know what it does.
