E-mail validation link
Good evening, I'm currently trying to send a validation e-mail when a user creates an account. I'd link to provide a link in order to confirm the subscription. Is there any recommended way to do that? In particular, I don't know how to write the href of the Link in my e-mail. Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: E-mail validation link
I do something like this : 1. Create a confirmation page that takes a confirmation code as a page parameter 2. Mount a page to a url that looks like http://domain.com/confirmation?code=somesupersecretcode 3. When a user registers, i generate the code and put it somewhere in the database 4. I then send him the link as in (2) above but with user specific code 5. When the user tries to login, i extract the code and check if its valid. Am sure there could be other more clever techniques Will be watching this thread. Josh.
