Question

please my registration and activation link was working fine until now, it says “problem connecting” when the link to activate account is clicked.

this is the related code of registration file

{
       //generate random code
       $code = rand(11111111,99999999);

       //send activation email
       $to = $email;
       $subject = "Activate your account";
       $headers = "From: [e-mail]";
       $body = " Hello $fullname,\n\nUsername $username,\n\n Password $password ,\n\nYou registered and need to activate your account, n\nPlease keep this email safe as it contains your password . Click the link below or paste it into the URL bar of your browser\n\nhttp://reacheasy.co.uk/activate.php?code=$code\n\nThanks!"; 

and this is the activation file

<?php
 include 'include/global.php';

    $code = $_GET['code'];

    if (!$code)
        echo "No code supplied";
    else
    {
        $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM reusers WHERE code='$code' AND active='1'");
        //echo "SELECT * FROM users WHERE code='$code' AND active='1'";
        if (mysql_num_rows($check)==1)
            echo "You have already activated your account";
        else
        {
            $activate = mysql_query("UPDATE reusers SET active='1' WHERE code='$code'");
            echo "Your account has been activated!<a href='index.php'>Return to login page</a>";
        }

    }

Check global.php and make sure you can connect. Call or mysql_error() at the end of mysql_connect()
