The way i did it was, put a 25char hash inside the "registered" column,
then sent an email to the user containing something like
domain.com?user=id_number&hash=hash
then i did "select userID where userID = $_GET['user'] & registered = $_GET['hash']"
(not exactly the sql phrase, but i dont feel like adding %s's and mysql_real_escape_strings to it but you get the picture)
then from the data i got, i did
if($row_is_returned)
{
update users set registered=yes WHERE userID = $_GET['user'];
}and that was it.

Hi,

Does anyone sugests a simple, yet effective way to do this ?
Please, don't misunderstand me. The PHP part i know. The sugestions i'm asking for are about the mechanism.
Thanking you in advance.
