jdock1 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 So far I just want a basic structure, a database with one table with two values, yes or no. yes would be for email validated, no for email not validated. i just want it so when a user signs up, it sends a unique link to their email to validate their email. I cant even think right now, ive been coding all day and cant even begin to think of how to start this. anybody got any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 You just need to generate a random string, store this along with the email address within a database. You then send an email with the link.... http://yoursite.com/confirm.php?id=somerandomstring In confirm.php, check for this random string and update verified from 0 to 1.
