and a user fills it out, submits it and (formhandle.php) handles the script
(which I have those) The formhandle.php generates a username, and password for the user...they are in variables ( $username, $password )
Now my question is using the mail function of course Im sure is how Id get a validation link sent to the user...but how do I get the script to generate
a link and mail it to the user saying ::click here to activate your account::
<link>
where does the link come from, how does it work?
What Im doing now is all the data they submit in the form is going into a particular table, once they click this validation link, they are moved into the 'permanant' table (for perm. members)
Is there an easier way to do this? perhaps using an extra fieild in the databased called: temp
and when they submit they gett added with a 1 under the temp
once they click the think to validate their account, it changes too a 2?
I mean phew
