When a user registers an account I want to validate their email address by sending them and activation link. What http variables does the link usually include? Is it the id of the user and the md5 hash of the password?
Activation Links & Mysql
- Thread starter PiKe
- Start date
Anything that they can't guess, so a hash of their password is a bad idea unless it's salted.
Just md5(rand() * time()), add to a field in the database, and put the link in the email as userid=<id>&hash=<hash>. If it matches, delete the hash and verify them
