PHP/MySQL Coder for Social Networking Site

We are in need of a great PHP/MySQL programmer that can program the backend of a social networking site for us. The coder will need to have a good understanding of how social network sites work and how to make the site secure from hacking. Also, you should have a thorough understanding of relational databases. You DO NOT have to design the pages. But you will need to code the main features of the site which will be registration, confirming valid email address, allowing for upload and playing of photos, video and music, messaging system where members can send email through their account, forum posting, etc. Bottom line is you will need to know how to build ALL the bells and whistles needed to make the site work smoothly around the GUI we will provide you. This will be an involved project and the person bidding must be knowledgeable and trustworthy. We are also looking for a long term relationship with the coder, so you can use this code on other projects we have in mind of similar scope. Please submit samples your work for consideration.
