You are in luck, I have just the code snippet you were looking for. This will send an email with the request to click on the included link. When the user does that, it will send him to the UpdateProfile.p hp script passing the userid as a GET parameter. Play with it.
[php]<?php
// some variables setup
$userid = "YourUserId ";
$to = "You@YourSite.c om";
// setup the link-to information
$url = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
dirname($_SERVE R['PHP_SELF']) .
"/update_profile. php?u=$userid";
// the subject of your email message
$subject = 'Update your profile';
// the content of your email message
$body = "Dear $userid,\n\n" .
"I am happy to ...... blah blah, blah .....\n\n" .
"If you want to change your profile, please use the following " .
"link by either clicking on it here or by copying the content " .
"of this link and paste its contents in the address box of " .
"your browser.\n\n $url" .
"\n\nKind regards,\nJohn Doe\n";
// 4th header, not always mandatory depends on server
$headers = "From: Me@MySite.com";
// send the email message
if (mail($to, $subject,$body, $headers))
echo "Mail sent successfully";
else
echo "Error sending mail!";
?>[/php]
