Generate a simple code for mobile number verification
Hello,
I'm building a social network that will allow users to send SMSs between them, but the mobile number of each user must be first verified. Therefore I need a PHP script to do the following:
1- Once the user has typed his mobile number, the script generates a simple code (like "634928") which will be valid only for that number and not another one and for a concrete time (1 minute, for example).
2- Then that code is sent via SMS through the gateway I use and received by the number's owner. (For this step I just need a variable which takes the verification code, and I'll make it to be sent via SMS).
3- He writes it in a form which will check if the code is valid (the same generated at the beginning) and if it's still within the predefined time (the one set before).
4- If everything is OK a variable called "$verified" will take "yes" as value, if not, the page will ask to check the code.
I hope it's easy to do...
Thanks!

Thank you for your so fast answer, but I started trying it, exacuting first the MakeRandomCode() function and it gave me an error: max execution time limit exeeded (30 sec). I think there's an error in the code, but I don't know where. Please, could you check everything?
Thanks!
