taquitosensei Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 put a createdate in the table. Along with Expiration date. When a user pulls up the page if it's later than the expiration don't display it. if(!date("Y-m-d") > date("Y-m-d", strtotime($row_from_database['expiration_date'])) { echo "Your link here"; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/152057-how-to-set-expiry-for-href-link-without-using-db/#findComment-798491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
