You can get the activation code and email by get method in php and check whether the emailid and activation code in database is same or not.If it is same then you can activate the account by changing the activation status.

$activation_code=$GET['activation_code'];
$email = $_GET['email'];

after that fire select query and check if record found then update the activation status.

If you mean how to read the incoming values, like this:

// most basic usage
$code = $_GET['activation_code'];
$email = $_GET['email'];

// now go on and activate the account

However, the above is not the best way to go about doing things (specifically, you want to avoid PHP notices if the URL does not contain the variables), so you would be better off writing a small helper function:

function param($name, $default = null) {
    return isset($_GET[$name]) ? $_GET[$name] : $default;
}

$code = param('activation_code');
$email = param('email');
