Php or MySQL problem? Not sure! New to this....

Hi everyone,
I will try my hardest to explain my problem... the only thing i know about MYSQL is to make a database, and add a user in cPanel.

okay....
I am using a script, where users must activate their account, this is the email they are receiving:



Dear test,

To complete your registration, click on the link below:
http://localhost/index.php?file=verifyreg&c=886644

Thanks very much,

http://localhost



As you can see the websites URL is showing up as localhost.

Any idea's on what this could be?

Thanks all in advance!
Linda.

 

seems to be some configuration problem in the script
is the script installed on localhost? or a domain ?

 

It's installed on my hosting plan on a "addon domain" Im not to sure if that's what you meant? I tried

 

I also think it could be a config issue.

simply make the URL to the absolute URL path,

 

That's the problem, this is all that's in the config.php file, the rest was a MySQL copy and paste job

check the script used to send the mail,, chnage the path thr... make it an absolute URL... the config looks ok.

 

can you contact me on MSN ? i'll try to help you.

 

If I had to guess, I'd bet someone tried to make a url using the $dbhost variable.

 

I don't have any idea how to do that, lol... im such a newb
