Right now my registration / login system works like this: 1-User goes to registration page and fills out form 2-User gets to choose username but password is autogenerated by system 3-System encrypts password in database 4-Password is unencrypted and sent along with username to registrant's email address 5-If email fails, insertion into registration database is rolled back. I have seen (as we all have) various types of reg methods. While I'm okay with mine, not completely satisfied. I'd like to change it to the type where like above the username and password is sent via email, but with the addition of a link in the email whereby the user must click on link to be "activated". You probably have seen this, but to spell it out - even though they have the user name and password it somehow is not good enough to login with until this "activation" takes place. Basically I'm drawing a blank on the precise method for this system. Couple of thoughts - 1-Perhaps there is another table that holds all "new" registers until they are activated and then transfers over the record(s) to the main reg table. 2-There is a column in the table that marks someone registered ? 3-It's just governed by programming code 4-Combination of database and PHP to make it work. Alright , obviously I have no clue. Appreciate some help, guidelines, pointers, etc. Thank you, Stuart -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
