Validation
Posted: Tue Nov 23, 2004 10:47 am
Does anyone here have a recommended way of doing Validation Systems?
I have a simple registration page, and upon joining a validation email should be sent out. (Once) clicking the link inside the email, it adds you to the Members List...
Now, I was debating doing it that way, or I dont know how many of you have seen the new hotmail and all the (.NET Stuff which is cool)
But as opposed to sending out a validation email, they get you to
'Type the Code you See In The Box', I know they have to do it this way, because if you dont have an email account, they simply can't get you to validate your account w/ an email.
Anyways, so I was thinking either email validation, or getting some script to randomly generate a series of numbers & letters in a box, preferably 5 numbers/letters. The underneath that, get the user to
'type you last name exactly as you did above' which I guess in a sense, thats another way to validate too isn't it?
Anyways let me know your suggestions...
