Hi all,

 

A fairly simple task i guess but is this the right way to do it.

 

I have a form where bod fills in some personal details, email address and a 
username.

 

Sysytem then emails the email address and send a verification link.

 

User follows link and then enters a password to use the system in the future.

 

So,

 

What is in the link?

 

Do I include the userID - www.thesite.co.uk?id=1 (but encrypt it) 
www.thesite.co.uk?...@$%$£%^^gh something like that?

 

This will tell me who the user is.

 

Should i be suing session variables for this? If so how?

 

I'm not sure of the correct process to do this?

 

Also how do I render the link useless once it has been used. Flag in the 
database?

 

Any suggestions or examples?

 

Regards - Paul
