UID Validation

[vicktor]

I am trying to create a form which makes use of the bitcointalk uid. I need to validate the UID in the form. Can someone please help me by telling me the approximate range of user ids in bitcoin talk

What's a UUID? I only know of UID and as of the time of this post they're ranging from 1 to 943407 exactly. It will obviously go higher as more users signs up.

You can find the last UID from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats.

Edit:
Wait, are you talking about "Universally unique identifier"?

If you find a profile with that ID then it's valid. For example yours is 932115.
Find that by going to a user's profile. You'll see it the ID in the link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=932115).

UID 2 is a user that does (no longer) exist -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2

You can request the page for the user ID in question. Make sure you dont spam the forum, or your IP might get banned. IIRC if you limit requests to once per second you should be fine. Just parse the returning file. Looking for the title should be enough. If the ID is invalid it should be 'An Error Has Occurred!' else it should be 'View the profile of <username>'

Yes,This is Unique Identification Number Which will allocate to each User for Unique Identity.
