Well just put together a string that you send to the new users email. You could put it together like this perhaps ?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?PHP

$szValHash = md5(microtime());

$szMyLoginUrl = 'http://www.mysite.com/login.php?hash=';

$szValUrl = $szMyLoginUrl . $szValHash;


// Insert $szValUrl where you want to echo the url.

echo('<A HREF="' . $szValUrl . '" target="_blank">Validate your new account</a>');
?>

Above echo will print something like this:

Code:

<A HREF="http://www.mysite.com/login.php?hash=1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f" target="_blank">Validate your new account</a>

I hope thats whats your after.

Good luck :)

hehhehe i think i got that part already butmy problem is really ob how to get the url from the browser address bar.. i had search already in google and yahoo and most of them said that using the parse_url is not a reliable method... but they had suggested using $_GETS where i find it a bit complicated because on most example that i had seen the url is already stored in a variable and they don't say it on the tutorial on how to get it in the address bar.. btw thanx so much...

all helps are appreciated
