"activating" a user via unique code and e-mail in PHP and MySQLi

I have two PHP files that collect user information. After someone uses the first one, and enters an e-mail, I want to store this data in the DB and create a unique ID or code that corresponds to that entered e-mail and is set to "inactive".

A message is then dispatched to that e-mail and contains the ID, passed to the second script via the URL. Then the second script reads this, and if the ID checks out, the e-mail is then "activated" and the script proceeds, else, the script produces an error.

I am very new to PHP and MySQL, so any pointers would be great. I've already created the MySQLi DB but haven't added any rows/columns to it yet. I definitely want to use unique index and constraints.

I hope I explained this okay. :) Thanks!!
