In my case the email contains looks like this:

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Message-Id: <20100307064942.A791367C38F@server1.rshost.de>
Date: Sun, 7 Mar 2010 07:49:42 +0100 (CET)

Hey! Thanks for signing up for the browsergame. Click below to confirm your e-mail address.

The tags aren't "executed" - I can read the whole link instead of just the underlined "below".

I got it figured out thanks Luke. By the way your site is very organized, informative, and easy to understand. Thank you for making these tutorials available.

I'm not sure – you'd have to show me lines 22-25 of your register.php.

I test my register page and it seems to work but I do still get an error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/axyse1/public_html/axnet/register.php on line 25
Congratulations, you've registered successfully! A confirmation e-mail has been sent to the address you entered.

What would be causing this?

Hey Shade,
i've got a question to this part:

...And change it to this

$query = sprintf("INSERT INTO users(username,password,email) VALUES ('%s','%s','%s','%s');",
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']),
mysql_real_escape_string(md5($password)),
mysql_real_escape_string($email),
mysql_real_escape_string($confcode));
...

You INSERT INTO 3 columns, but you add 4 values. How does MySQL consider this??

No reason at all not to do it that way – send away

Hey is there any reason not to do something like this:
$token = sha1(microtime());
?>

I ask because it would be pretty handy to just do that and send it as the token.

Ok so I guess it wouldn't let me send an email from a fake email address on my server. Once I went in and actually added an email address, the message was sent successfully.

I am also not getting the confirmation email for some reason. I'll try to simplify the message and see if it is a formatting mistake.
