Hi Kevin (plse don't top post!)
URL shouild look like http://www.fred.com/validate.php?id=999&code=1234
validate.php:
check existance of both $_GET["id"] and $_GET["code"]
look up $_GET["id"] in database and retrieve matching code
if $_GET["code"] matches code found in database, then
update datebase validated field to true or 'Y' or whatever
display appropriate message
else
display error message
Now, do I get a cut?
