Inserting activation link

[mivec]

to all,
ok i am suppose to be doing a registeration where after the user has clicked the "submit" button, there will be an email sent to the user automatically and immediately. i have done it but now..i am not sure where can i insert an activation link for the user to click in order to activate his/her account. the mail code that i have done is this:

set_time_limit(3600);
    echo ("{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}");
    
    /* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

    set_time_limit(3600);
    $mail = new as_Mail();
    $mail->to = ($email);
    $mail->from = "[email protected]{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}.com";
    $mail->cc = "[email protected]";
    $mail->bcc = "[email protected]";
    $mail->subject = "**BULK** Testing the as_Mail class";
    $mail->body = "This is the time this <b>mail</b> was generated: " . date("F j, Y, g:i a");
    $mail->rigorous_email_check = true;    
    $mail->rigorousEmailCheck($mail->to);
    
    
    if($mail->send())
        echo("Successfully sent an email titled $mail->subject!");
    else
        echo("Error while attempting to send an email titled $mail->subject: " . $mail->errorMsg());

    echo("<br>");
    echo(str_replace("\r\n", "<br>", $mail->viewMsg()));*/

Well, you've got the content type header in place, so you should be able to use straight html to add the link...

$mail->body.="<br /><a href='linkToInclude'>Link text</a>";

In your link you will need to add some parameters for your activation script to grab to identify the account to activate. Typically whatever you are using as a primary key for the accounts in your database table (assuming you are using a database)
