What you need to do is create two numbers which when used together give you
a unique / secure value.
So when then user subscribesto your site get the regid and format like
000000001 (9 digits) (use numberformat)
and also create a random value of length 21 (for example) and store to with
your registation details
as regkey
eg: sugfsfsygf4549yhi32bn (21 digits )
(There is a radompassword tag in taggallery to do this....)
Now in your email send
whatever.cfm?Key=sugfsfsygf4549yhi32bn000000001
and on whatever.cfm do
select *
from regdetails
Where regid = left(Key,9)
and regkey = right(Key,21)
You can encypt the whole thing more using any of the cf encryption function,
but make sure to urlencode them ....
