Hi guys.
I run a social networking site based on php and mysql and i want to let the users to invite their gmail and yahoo address book contact to invite to my site using their email.
Any idea about how can this be done?

thanks

SO you want users to be able to:

send their gmail/yahoo contacts a mail from inside your site?

I think I recently saw Google tell FaceBook to face off and denied them access. This could be a security issue for you or a vulnerability for the user unless you get it right. I *think* OAuth will allow you to do this.

will try using this, thanks for reply though :-)
