if (strtolower($invite_person) == strtolower($username)){
echo "You cannot invite yourself";
}elseif (strtolower($invite_person) != strtolower($username)){

A. Use proper indentiation. Makes code easier to read.

B. checking for "strip_tags" of a field is not correct, as all that has to do is strip the tags, which will normaly always return true. Better to check isset to see if the variable has been set.

C. Added error checking so you can see if the queries are failing for some reason.

 

The above "should work" or at least return a helpful error.
