86Stang Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've setup a login system where upon insert it enters a random 16 character string into the a_id column of my user table. I then email the newly registered user a link to the activation page appended with the random strong. I.E.: http://www.mysite.com/activate.php?a_id=1234567890123456 When they click on the link, I want the code on activate.php to check if that string exists in the user table. I'm capable of doing all the checks, I just don't know how to pull that random string from the URL so I can check against it. Thoughts?

premiso Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 $random = $_GET['a_id']; Remember to check/sanitize your data before using it in a query, as it can be SQL injected without doing so.
