is there a way when sending a ton of emails that i can

place a unique link within each email -

when user clicks link - database is updated -

webpage opens with confirmation message -

much appreciated, jason

    create a new field to the database table, called : code

    make a string , use the microteime, the parts of the email, and its ID, and a random number using rand() , and the session_id() , and encrypt this whole string with SHA1 ,
    take into the link as activation value. And update the table with this code to store this string.

    The user click on this code , and activate.php will validate it.

    how to make it better, search on php.net the rand() function.

    Hello, jjozsi.

      Thanks!

      Is there any way to find out what emails were sent? I'm sure there's a log somewhere that shows what emails PHP processed...

      I'm running into a situation where folks are saying they didn't get the email - when I'm pretty sure the emails was sent....

        i suggest make an admin page, to re-send the email activation from the database.

        But, do not send the emails in one cycle. And check the mail success after send, and update a last_activate_email field.

        You can use a date field to know which account overstepped the activation time interval.
