Invite Spooler

[grindboy]

Hi Guys,

Hopefully you can help me. In the UK we have a free mobile phone network called Blyk (www.blyk.co.uk you can learn more about it here)

As you can imagine SIM cards are very much in demand. The service, however, is invite only.

In an effort to make invites more accessible I'm building an unofficial community to share invites.

What I'm hoping you guys can help me with is an invite spooler similar to the GMail one that was doing the rounds a while back.

Functionality would be:

A choice between either I want an invite or I want to give an invite.
If I want an invite is chosen it takes you to a email entry box and probably a CAPTCHA. The I want to give an invite option takes you to a text entry box which is validated to 3 numbers 4 letters and a number (000AAAA0) and another CAPTCHA.

When someone enters and email address it gets added to a list. When someone adds an invite the email off the top of that list is sent the invite and that email address is then removed from the list.

Also useful would be some sort of validation so that the same email cannot be entered twice to prevent people filling the list with 10 copies of their email.

I know I'm asking for a lot of functionality here but hopefully one of you guys has a relatively simple answer.

Many Thanks

No takers?

I'd assume then that this would be really difficult to implement. Please tell me I'm being unrealistic if I am because then I can go off and think up some other hairbrained project to spend my easter holiday doing when I should be revising!

Many thanks

Hmm seams easy if you know what you are doing. I suggest you find a php mysql tutorial, a preg_match tutorial, and maybe a captcha tutorial if you want to have your own custom one. Also if you don't have wamp or xampp running, set that up too. I would do this for you, but i am busy; also, if you do it yourself you will understand it better. I would be happy to explain how you would go about doing this sort of thing in depth after you learn the technologies behind it.

Brilliant just what I was looking for thanks.

You're welcome. As i said, after you learn the technologies, fell free to pm me or post here.
