What I do is generate a random key, save it in the database, send them an
email with a link that they must click to validate their email:
http://www.mysite.com/validate.php?email=you@somehost.com&key=ayunj83J#@8h3j
9j(*(hn3983n*(j
Its not foolproof, I know, but it is simple and effective, as you say.
Heres a quick and dirty function to generate the key:
function KeyGen($length){ // Generates random, mixed case, alphanumeric
string of $length characters.
for($len=$length,$r='';strlen($r)<$len;$r.=chr(!mt_rand(0,2)?mt_rand(48,57):
(!mt_rand(0,1)?mt_rand(65,90):mt_rand(97,122))));
return $r;
}
