Hello i am new to this forum, with reference to Mr. Larry's book " PHP 6 AND MYSQL FOR DYNAMIC WEBSITES VISUAL QUICKPRO GUIDE" low price edition. Please, i have been trying to login a user for the pass two days but i am not getting it right because i can't access the login page without activating the account which is done by clicking the the link in the email. So the problem is i don't receive the email after configuring the sendmail.ini and the php.in for the email, therefore i am stuck and i can't proceed. i even downloaded thunderbird for sending and receiving the emails and also configured the mercury and added new users through on the control panel admin->configuration->manage users->Add...
I even tried creating the simple login page that will not require the user to activate his account through the link using the example in chapter 11. But still couldn't get it right.
Please i will really like to have help from this forum,
Thank you.
