Thanks Larry, that worked. After adding an additional forward slash and fixing some compilation errors, it works great. Just a side note, for what it's worth. I had some issues trying to get an email account working. After using several different programs, working through the tutorials to set them up, and at no avail, I tried one called "Test Mail Server Tool". After install and activating some lines in php.ini, the emails instantly popup. Great tool.

I would like to resurrect this thread. I am having the same issue as Georgezx9; however, the thread came to an abrupt end. My BASE_URL variable is assigned the value: 'http:/localhost/'. and whenever I try to activate the new account, from the sent email, I get the same error message as Georgezx9: Object not found!, Error 404. I am assuming that the address for the BASE_URL is incorrect, since the activation link isn't finding the path to the file, activation.php. I have tried various combination of paths but at no avail. I am running a xampp setup. The path of the activation.php file is the following: C:\xampp\htdocs\ul-1\ch18\some_folder\htdocs\activate.php Thank you for your help, tgjasper
