I was wondering whether someone could help me with this little problem...

I am creating a users login/registration system using ASP and I would like to be able to validate users email addresses by sending them an email so that they can click on a link to validate their username;
just like the InvisionBoards Registration Form.

This is so that I do not have any people registering with fake email addresses.

I can use CDONTS email component.

Can anyone please help me with this problem? Thanks in advance to all that can.

You could make a field in your user database that you use to update when a user clicks the validate he/she is the actual person registering. The link in your email would look something like this:

domain.com/user.asp?id=1&validate=true

The field "validate" would be the trigger/condition if someone registered succesfully by confirming by email and activating his/her account.

The user.asp page would be a page where you define a database update behavior.

Hope this helps.

do you know how i would code the email sending with asp to do this?
basically the hardest part is where you have to get the
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>domain.com/user.asp?id=1&validate=true</font id=code></pre id=code>
to be for that specific user.

i have no idea how I would do that :S

do you or anyone else know how I would do that by any chance? maybe the full script for it if someone has the time shy<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
