WHy don't you just have an http link from your message?

 

Also store your message body in a variable.  That is hard to read.

The third parameter of the mail function is where you specify your message body. 

 

Just include html code in that message body.  So if you want to like have an activation link, you have should some code like:

 

<a href="activation.php">Click here to activate</a>

ok i know the but i think  must make script to activation

[Heero]

I am not sure what you really want...

 

You had asked how to make a link to the activation...so you already know how to do that?  Now you want to make a script that actually activates an account?

[skali]

1- add a field in your database table named 'active' it can be a tinyint or enum

2- set its default value to 0, representing inactive

3- create an activation script that will change the value of this field to 1, meaning active

4- after registration send a link to users email address with some 'id' may be userid or username and this link will be to your activation script

5- once clicked the activation link will bring user to activation script that will validate user on the basis of the id and will activate his registration
