    <p>OK I have this code to send an email account verification link </p> <pre><code> $verifyemail = $clean['email']; $to = $verifyemail; $subject = 'Virtual Pierz Close | Verify Your Account'; $message = "Thanks for registering with VPC, on clicking the verification link below, your account will be confirmed, you can then go ahead buy Virtual Properties, donating £5 each time to the worthwhile charity. http://www.cambrianvacation.co.uk/vpc/registered.php? email='$verifyemail'&amp;hash='$hash1' "; $headers = 'From:noreply@cambrianvacation.co.uk'; // Set from headers mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); </code></pre> <p>And then I have this code, that is trying to activate the account by setting active = 1 in the database, which will then be part of the access control logic at login, without active = 1, there is no login, amongst other protection</p> <pre><code> if(isset($_GET['email']) &amp;&amp; !empty($_GET['email']) AND isset($_GET['hash']) &amp;&amp; !empty($_GET['hash'])){ // Verify data $accountemail = $_GET['email']; $accounthash = $_GET['hash']; } $accountActive = 1; $notactive = 0; $username = ''; $password2 = ''; $username = 'xxxxxxx'; $password2 = 'xxxxxxx'; $db1 = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=xxxxxxxxxxxxx', $username, $password2, array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND =&gt; "SET NAMES utf8")); $db1-&gt;setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false); $db1-&gt;setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); try{ $search = $db1-&gt;prepare("SELECT email, hash, active FROM users WHERE email = :email AND hash= :hash AND active = :active"); $search-&gt;bindParam(':email', $accountemail); $search-&gt;bindParam(':hash', $accounthash); $search-&gt;bindParam(':active', $notactive); $search-&gt;execute(); $colcount = $search-&gt;columnCount(); }catch(PDOException $e) { $e-&gt;getMessage(); } print_r($colcount); if($colcount === 3){ //try{ $update = $db1-&gt;prepare("UPDATE users SET active=:active WHERE email=:email AND hash=:hash AND active = :active"); $update-&gt;bindParam(':active', $accountActive); $update-&gt;bindParam(':email', $accountemail); $update-&gt;bindParam(':hash', $accounthash); $update-&gt;bindParam(':active', $notactive); $update-&gt;execute(); //}catch(PDOException $e) { // $e-&gt;getMessage(); //} </code></pre> <p>However I cannot get the active column to update.</p> <p>I've also thought about using the GET['email'] could be subject to semantic url attacks, however the logic won't activate the account without the matching hash, which is randomly generated with crypt()......... If anyone can see any security holes in the code, please tell me......... </p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
