how to create a buffer and redirect??

[yuan]

1. I seem a lots of forum need to activate account from email after registered. But what's the purpose to do that and how to create the buffer after registered??

Is it create a database to store those account has been registered? or any way to do that??

2. And how to do a redirect to the web page that users wanna go through, if the users login their account. It's like the function in this forum.

Thanks a million.... 😃

ok, first off, when you create an account, it might actually store it in a 'temporary' database until the account is 'authenticated'.. The reason for this, people create accounts just to get around a ban, or something, or maybe to take up space, just to be annoying really... so the verification system put in place, they'd have to create an email account, then verify it when the code was sent to them...

As for how do you get it to redirect someone? simple, use header..
header("Location: http://www.google.com");

thanks WinterDragon, but my meaning is...
if we wanna reply a title in forum, but we haven't login... it will redirect to login page and after we enter the correct password and account, it will continue redirect to the title we wanna reply..... like this forum...
