how would i then verify if that is the right verification code for that particular user also deny log in until there email has been validated?
If they login via the built-in interface, that will be handled automatically. If you're going to put a form on your web site that logs them in then fetch their name and call AccountsGet to fetch their ValCode:
Code: Select all
$params = "Password=$pw&Command=AccountsGet" . "&Player=" . urlencode($Player);
$api = Poker_API($url,$params,true);
$ValCode = $api["ValCode"];
If $ValCode is blank then they've already been verified. Otherwise prompt them for it and compare it against the one you just retrieved.

Then it didn't get set with your AccountsEdit call. Put an error check to see what it says. Something like this:
Code: Select all
$api = Poker_API($url,$params,true);
if ($api["Result"] == "Ok") echo "ValCode successfully saved for " . $Player;
else echo "Error saving ValCode: " . $api["Error"] ;

Use the AccountsEdit API command to set a random ValCode for the player. Then use the mail() command in PHP to send that to them.
wouldn't i be using the AccountsAdd api if i am setting the valcode for the new user on the new account form?
i cant seem to get the val code set for the new user.

The Add function doesn't look for a ValCode parameter since that's meant as an internal feature. I may add that in a future update but in the mean time you'll have to set it with AccountsEdit. Are you checking for an error when using AccountsEdit?
Actually you don't need to set it at all inside Poker Mavens if you are going to handle the verification from your own web site. Just create a local file or database and save it locally with the player's name. Then look it up from there when you attempt to log in.
