activation form access restriction

vinson89 · May 18, 2014

I have a sign up form to send the activation code to the new user via email.My question is how to restrict the user who is not a member using activation form page in PHP unless their use a sign up form first?

here is my sign up form and activation form:

sign up form

activation form:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="check-activation-script.php">
<div align="center">
<table width="35%" border="0">
<tr>
<td>Username</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><label>
<input name="username" type="text" id="username">
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Activation Code </td>
<td><label>:</label></td>
<td><input name="activation_code" type="text" id="activation_code"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td><label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Cancel">
</label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>

1 - USE CODE TAGS per the forum's rules.

2 - learn how to use css and stop using it wildly and needlessly.

3 - then show us the PHP code that you are using since that is where your question really lies, not in the html.

BTW - here is a cleaned up version of your html from above. Had to do it. It was horrible.

sign-up form (?)

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 12px;
}
.style5
{
 font-size: 16px;
 font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="email-activation-script.php">
<div>
<center>
<p class="style5"> Form Registration </p>
<table width="35%" border="0">
<tr>
<td class='style7'>Username</td>
<td class="style7">:</td>
<td class="style7">
<input name="username" type="text">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style7">Email</td>
<td class="style7">:</td>
<td class="style7">
<input name="email" type="text">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style7">Password</td>
<td class="style7">:</td>
<td class="style7">
<input name="password" type="password">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td class="style7">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Register">
<input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Cancel">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>
</form>

activation form(?):

<form name="form1" method="post" action="check-activation-script.php">
<div>
<center>
<table width="35%" border="0">
<tr>
<td>Username</td>
<td>:</td>
<td>
<input name="username" type="text">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Activation Code </td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="activation_code" type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Cancel">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>
</form>

Took out the extra span tags and the un-used label tags. Cleaned up your css and re-defined some of it.

Now let's get to your php code - hopefully it is in better shape than you html/css is

Hi,

I don't really get your question. The activation code already proves that the user has gone through the registration procedure. What more do you need?
