This sound alright. Implement it as a separate class method. Then in the 
addUser method, we can add a flag that when true will send out the 
verification. We can have the flag set in the config file for easy access.

The reson behind this is that there are times when the user isn't 
requesting the account, so you'd want to leave control to the admin. 
This is the way that I use PSA mostly for CMS programming where I choose 
who can have an account, and whether it is active or not. I'm sure that 
I can't be the only one to do it this way.

So right now, the development is focused on password recovery and 
account verification methods. Now all I need to do is get some more time 
to actually look into what you have got going on. When you have working 
(or nearly working) code, let me know and I will try to find time to 
look it over and be sure that everything is fitting into the class and 
GUI as expected.

Also, one other note on coding. Don't use the orphan brackets like:

if ($condition)
{
     // code
}

Use the old C style like:

if($condition){
     // code
}

I can't stand the other mehtod for some reason.
