If they need to reset their password, they enter their username and this is when I create a key with uniqid and insert it into their column.....I then send them an email which contains a link, which contains the users id and their unique key.
After the email is sent and they open it. They click the link which then takes them to a page where they enter their new password. The id and unique id is passed through to that page where it is retrieved and stored into a variable. After they submit their new password, I query the database selecting a match looking to see if the unique key matches the one which was retrieved from the email link?
I hope I am somewhat near the concept....
