    Okay, people I'm running a website on wordpress Version 2.7.1

    Now, I have a friend who's somewhat okay with code she wrote me an invite code for my site

    <?php

    /* This is a script written by Morgan Westfield (morgan@tehgeekgirl.com) for youarethescene.net. Please keep this comment intact. Visit http://www.tehgeekgirl.com. */

    // Declare our variable
    $email = $_POST['email'];

    // Run the functions
    sendemail();
    print_html();

    // The actual functions
    function sendemail() // Sends the email to the person we've invited
    {

    global $email;

    $to="$email";
    $from="donotreply@youarethescene.net";
    $headers = "From: $from";
    $subject = "You've Been Invited to YouAreTheScene!";
    $message = "Greetings,\n\nOne of your friends has invited you to YOUARETHESCENE.NET!\n\nIf you aren't interested, then just discard this email.\n\nThanks!\n- You Are The Scene Administrators";
    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

    }

    function print_html() // Prints a nice message to the inviter!
    {

    global $email;

    print("<html><head><title>Invite a Friend!</title></head><div style='border:solid 5px #dae55a; background-color: #f3fb9d; color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; width: 450px; padding: 10px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center;'>Success! We've sent an invite email to $email.

    Click here to return home. </div></body></html>");
    }

    ?>

    What happens is On my site
    if you see the picture
    http://i41.tinypic.com/wjf68k.jpg
    You will see a big red box

    I got two boxes where you can
    User Name
    Password
    and
    Email

    After I put in the info it goes to another page stating

    "Success! We've sent an invite email to personsemail@email.com"

    Click here to return home.

    you can return to the main page after you send the email, thats fine

    but when someone gets an email for an invite it reads

    "Greetings,

    One of your friends has invited you to YOUARETHESCENE.NET!

    If you aren't interested, then just discard this email.

    Thanks!
    - You Are The Scene Administrators"

    Now, what I need is to have it send them a key to sign up so when they get the email it can read the same thing but i'd like it to read "please click the link to sign Up" and it would be
    http://www.youarethescene.net/invite/key
    cause i remember on some other site it had like

    invite/838939043w0092 some long ass key you click it and you can enter in your own user name and password, and email address

    anyone know what i can do, I don't know php

    thanks
    Dave
