PHP Invite system.

Hey Experts,

I'm in need of a invite system. The web page I am designing will have a password protection and the password will only be given out to a few select people. Once they are in the site I want them to be able to enter in three e-mail addresses to send invites that have randomly generated passwords which can only be used once... I have know idea how to do this and any pre-made stuff or templates. AND if it could be in PHP that would be good but it doesn't have to be.

That's a pretty tall order. I don't know of any premade stuff, but here is some pseudocode

if (!$_POST) {
show regular welcome page, with <INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD NAME=PASS>
}

else if($_POST['pass'] == "master password") {
allow user to select 3 emails
}

else
{ //check db for password
SELECT * FROM invites WHERE pw=$_POST['pass'];
if (mysql_num_rows($result)==0) {
// password is wrong .. try again}
else {
DELETE FROM invites WHERE $pw=$_POST['pass'];
}

function make_password() {
for ($d=0; $d<10; $d++) {
$pw .= chr(rand(1,26)+64);
}
INSERT INTO invites (pw) VALUES ('$pw')
return $pw;
}
