I'd do it this way... I'd add two column in the users table. 1- activated, 2- activation-hash
once the registeration form is ubmited.. a-the username and user info will be saved in the users table. b-an encrypted hash would be made n saved in activation-hash column and sent along with the registeration info (username & pass) in the form of a url (eg. http://domain/activationpage.php?hash=ljk;lkj;lkjl;ksjfasdfa). if the user is activated then the login function works for them if not given a msg saying ur activation hasnt been done yet.... the activatepage.php should then put 1, or on in the activated colum in the users table on the row that has the hash passed to it. simple enought aint it?
