Hey, Why dont you just add a link to a script and validate it like that? eg: Click below to confirm you email id ********************************************** http://yoursite.tld/confirm.php?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&confirmno=5675678 **********************************************
Once you get the confirm id and no just check it within your database and flag it as true. Simple. I have been using the above example for years....though not in PHP, but i'm sure it will work.
