Hey all!
I just installed and used a php/mysql member script from www.maaking.com. It is a good script for what I need. However, what would I do to be able to vaidate the members after they register so that until they are validated, they don't have access. Currently, you register, and then go right in.

I don't have a knowledge of PHP so I need some help, all is appreciated!

You need to store the initial information in a temp database. Then, once the user has been verified, relocate the information from the temp database to the permanent. Obviously, when verifying the username and password for login, only point to the permanent database so anyone in the temp db can not access the restricted area.
