Question

I am making some sort of a Bulletin Board webapp. Users can add their listings to the bulletin board just like on craigslist for example. How do I implement the feature that when User wants to add a new listing to the site, he is sent an email where he has to click on a confirmation link, before the listing will be displayed on the site?
I guess I should mention that I’m working with PHP(codeIgniter framework).

Answer 1

I’m not sure what you are trying to do, but one good way to do that is sending the user an email with an encrypted querystring pointing to your php page, where you will get the
encrypted query and process all the parameters to add the listing to their bulletin board
.
