I made two scripts with different ways of registrating users:
by only validating email addres (sending validation email) which is posted in reg. form (user make passw.himself) and
second is by generating password and sending it on posted email addres

Which sistem is more safe(basicly)?
Thanks in advance!!

Both are about as equal as it can get in my book.

I don't see either one as inherently "safer."

Emailing the password has the benefit of not requiring a script which activates the user account when someone clicks the link in his email.
