Verification of Email thru email confirmation link-I'm stuck

[bmconnect]

Hi,

 

I'm new here and new to php.  My first attempt at a php project actually so I'm hoping to get some help.

 

I want people to register at my site but I don't want them to put false emails on it.

 

So I used the coding from this website http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=24 to provide codings for forms and email confirmation links.

 

The process worked up to when I click on the confirmation link (at testing) from the email and the link returns to a blank webpage.  No data is transferred from "temp_members_db" table  to "registered_members" table at all.

 

I'll attach print screen of my tables.

 

Hoping that someone can point out to me where I'm going wrong as I can't seem to get myself out of this one.

Please add the following at the top of the PHP script which creates a blank output.

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

 

This will enable you to see what the error is.

Hi,  I put those lines in the beginning of the php script but it still returned a blank webpage.

Using runtime (adding those lines to the script) error reporting will not work if there is a fatal parse error in the script. While developing, you should have the following in your php.ini file:

error_reporting = -1
display_errors = On

 

Another thing to note is that the vast majority of the tutorials on phpeasystep are outdated, obsolete and use deprecated functions. I can't recommend using any of the information on that site.

Oh... Is there a site I can get script for what I need that is current and up to date?

 

Thanks!

I haven't looked at many of them, so I'd hesitate to recommend one.
