To verify an authorized user registration and to avoid duplicacy in accounts of users for an organization, it becomes very important to verify his/her identity. For this, a common way of email id verification is used for registered user, which was pre-stored in organisation’s database when he/she was registered for the first time.

This blog post concerns about “Email Verification” and explains you how it is done using PHP.

We have used PHP script to verify particular email, in which following steps were performed:

  • Establish connection with server.
  • Selecting Database.
  • SQL Query to fetch records from table.
  • Matches input values with query returned values.
  • Connection Close.

We have created our database and stored an email [email protected]with name “fugo” when above PHP script executes values from input field matches with pre-stored email id and name in database, if match found then it will notify as “verification successful”.
