[SOLVED] Session question

[atl_andy]

How can I limit user's access to d/l a file to once in seven days using sessions?  The only way that I know to limit a session's time is in php.ini.  I'm looking for something similar to setcookie("name", value, time() + 432000), but using sessions.

Sessions only exist once for every login.

 

You need to store the download attempt in a DB or somewhere you can fetch the last DL time from. Or just use a cookie (which is easily defeated).

That's what I figured, just wanted to be sure.  It's for a class that I'm taking and a db isn't an option at this point.  All the tuts I have read use a db.  Thanks
