Registration Form...confirm e-mail checking and validation question.

We're manually creating a registration form that submits to database and we want to add a "Confirm E-mail" validation.
Having never done that before. is this accessed via the jQuery Validation option?
Thank you.

no, this is done using server validation and the Like entry validation option.

So the form needs to submit to another page that has the server validation behaviour?

Sorry, can I also ask about creating a verification code? When a user submits the form, I have UserEmailVerified in our user table set to "no".
So, it saves to database and I need it to also e-mail out to the e-mail address entered with a link to a page on our website that runs an UPDATE on the database table to change UserEmailVerified to "yes". UserEmailVerified is just a tinyint field, 1 for yes, 2 for no.

How do I generate a verification code though? I have a field called UserVerificationCode in our user table.

Thanks man.

server validation goes on whichever page the form posts to.

it can post to itself, this is the easiest, or you can set it to post to another page, either way, all form processing happens on the forms action page, including validation.


see the double opt in tutorial for your second question:

Will that work if the form is an INSERT form? I assume the server validation will take place before the INSERT?

yes, server validation will work with any type of form as long as the server validation code block comes before the insert / update or other behaviors code block.
