how to validate users by sending activation link in email ,

[mirror]

hey friends i searched a lot here even inside the scripts but cant find the link on how to validate users by sending them activation link in emails , i want to remove validation by staff so tht users with valid email id can only enter my site , m attaching a copy of my registration script here , thanking u all in advance

[whiteboy]

why don`t you make a new row in users table with name email_verify, and at register.php, after user pressed submit button, code some informations in md5, and sent mail: 'Hello $user, click <a href=http://yoursite.com/verify.php?code=$md5iformation&amp;user=$user">her e</a> to complete registration."

verify.php must contain:
$user=$_Get['user'];
$code=$_GET['code'];

extract the code from sql where user==$user and verify if $code==$email_verify
it is so simple.
succes.

apologize for any possible mistake of expression.

lol, Why code it ??

Dude thats the best hint on this world and you can easy learn from them...

Learn to code ok here we do not work for you here is where we train you up to be the best.

Place vaild_user in sql

add

ID / CODE1 / CODE2 / ACTIVATE

index ('ID')


then in login

if user id code1 and code2

if($code[1]>$code[2])
{
Welcome Num Nuts
}else{
You still got no idea how stupid you look right now.

Why Go and activate your Mail idiot!
}

Dude. You need to as whiteboy said, create a new column iin ur users table. Set default to no or 0 or wateva.
When users register, send them a link with. Hash of their user details. Choose carefully as using just username, they can detect and end up spamming ur site.
So say , username email and a salt all hashed.
When the user enters the code in you verification page. Use get so. You can send an url to them.
Here's the tricky part, you can either store the hash in a column and just query it or a more inefficient way is just to fetch all rows and compare the hash of their details with the. Submitted hash.
You can choose to do it as you wish but basically, that is it.

Unless, as I can infer from your second post you can't code. Then you need to get someone to do it for you.

I accept liberty reserve btw.

just in my initial stages of coding bro so a little asking for help , i will try again

[frostymarvelous]

Ok, so simple steps.
Create two columns in the user table.
One named "code" and the other, "verified"
Code should not be null and verified should default to a negative response. "0" or "no" whichever you prefer.
When the user registers, create the hash unique to that user, eg. Md5($un."suitably long salt")
Send this code to user in email.
Now. Your verify page should take the input, sanitise it then make a query for that hash. You can take the username also and compare the hash and username(extra security). Make sure it is not already verified the update table, and echo a success msg.
Goodluck.
