    This works...with a small change (or is it a fix?):

    "UPDATE users SET send_email = 'NO' WHERE
     MD5(concat(email_address,'ThisIsASecretKey123'))='$unique_id' "

    Your example generates a syntax error.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    PS:  Alternatively, I just stuck '$secret_key' in the query line, this way I
only have to change it in one location, and not have it hardcoded anywhere else.
