I have an invite script that allows my users to invite their contacts. it puts all their contacts in an array and emails each one. id like the script to split the contacts in to 2 groups - registered and unregistered so it can send an invite email to one group and a friend request to the other. any snippets of code that would help will be appreciated.

<?php

$emails = array("sitemember@gmail.com", "justafriend@hotmail.com");

foreach($emails as $email) {
$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$email'") or die(mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($q) or die(mysql_error());
if($rows > 0) {
  // User is already a member, just send a friend request
} else {
  // User is not a member, ask them to join the site
}
}

?>

 

Not tested, but should work :)

ok, this is how it usually looks:

 

	<?php

$db_host = "mysql.*****.co.uk";
$db_user = "*****";
$db_pwd = "****";
$db_name = "****";
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);

include_once("settings.php");
if (!$_POST)
{
  include("form.php");
}
else if(!$_POST['formname'] || $_POST['formname'] != "invite")
{
  include_once($scripts[$iscript]['filename']);
  $login = $_POST['username'];
  $name = $_POST['name'];

  $resultarray = get_contacts($login, $password);


#if contacts were retreived successfully:
  if(is_array($resultarray))
{
    #the first array_shift of the result will give you the names in an array
	$names = array_shift($resultarray);
	#the second array_shift of the result will give you the emails
	$emails = array_shift($resultarray);

			   if (!eregi("@", $login))
			   {
			   		$login = $login . "@" . strtolower($iscript) . ".com";
			   }

                   echo '<div align="center" style="padding:5; width:350;">';
                                      echo '<form method="POST" action="'.$formaction .'" name="inviteform" id="inviteform"><table style="background-color:white; border:black solid thin;">';
