[SOLVED] email verification

Recommended Posts

I am building a small email list and I was wanting to send the subscriber an email with a verification method in it. My question is, how can I accomplish this? I am thinking that I create a hidden form with some field that will be put in a query to update their row to be authorized. Can someone help?

Thanks

I'm kind of confused. Do you want to verify that their email is valid? like so they can't just put like Email: aifdh8a9fh?

 

this function will do that

 

function verifyEmail($email){
$pattern = "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$]";

return preg_match($pattern, $email);
}

Thanks for reply. Not so much if valid email but I want to send them an email from the form of which I can do. I am wanting the email to have a link that they will have to click a link or form button that will return information to update mysql field in their row that will allow their email address to be apart of the mailing list that will be sent out.
