If you can find what the problem is that would be great.

Try this:

[code]

<?php

/* Account activation script */

// Get database connection

include ( './db.php' );

// Create variables from URL.

// first check if it's already been activated

$sql = mysql_query ( "SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM users WHERE userid = '" . mysql_real_escape_string ( $_REQUEST['id'] ) . "' AND password = '" . mysql_real_escape_string ( $_REQUEST['code'] ) . "' AND activated = 1" ) or die ( 'Query Error: ' . mysql_error );

$found = mysql_fetch_assoc ( $sql );

if ( $found['total'] == 0 )
{
$sql = mysql_query ( "UPDATE users SET activated = 1 WHERE userid = '" . mysql_real_escape_string ( $_REQUEST['id'] ) . "' AND password = '" . mysql_real_escape_string ( $_REQUEST['code'] ) . "'" ) or die ( 'Query Error: ' . mysql_error );

$num = mysql_num_rows($sql);

if(strlen(mysql_error()) > 0)
{
die(mysql_error());
}
if ( $num == 0 )

{
echo "<strong><font color='red'>Your account could not be activated, no user found by that id or password!</font></strong>";
}
else
{
echo "<strong>Your account has been activated!</strong> You may login below!<br />";

include ( './login.php' );
}
}
?>
[/code]

ive been having so much trouble with this account activation script.. i think im just not going to make it so they dont have to activate it.. maybe come back on this in a while its just driving me insane! im sure there will be many more problems for me to come with the rest of the membership tutorial so far ive made it there and now im gonna have to play around with the script since im not goin to do this.. which im not very good at yet..

YES I GOT IT TO WORK!! IM SO HAPPY FOR ME!! lol it was just some stupid thing.. the passwords wouldnt match because the cell in the database table wasn't big enough to fit the md5 password.. i got the first one i was trying to work to work not this one but ill try that now.. im sure there will be more problems to come lol
