[how?] registration completed by email

Re: [how?] registration completed by email
You collect the user's email address during registration. What I would do is generate a unique id key, maybe by hashing their username along with the date or something. Store this hash in the database along with their username. Then generate a url that includes their username and this id key (http://www.something.com/authenticate.p ... ode=idhash) send them this link in an email.
When they click on the link, you get the username and hash from the url on your authenticate page, look up the username in your database and compare the id key to the one you stored earlier. Voila!

Check out these videos:

There is that one, plus 2 or 3 more in the same series where he details how to do this.
These videos are part of a larger series on building a login/registration system in PHP, which is a good series to watch, but those 3 or 4 videos detail the email registration part.
