Maq Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 A timer? You should probably use Javascript for this, well depending on what exactly you want you may have to. Just google "javascript timer", and you should find something useful.

FaT3oYCG Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 store the time and date that they access the database and restrict the time by making a query that checks the lat time and if they are allowed then updates it to the new time Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155372-solved-need-add-a-timer/#findComment-817480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsjava Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 create a column named last_voted. Set it to int(11). Next, modify this code to suit your needs (queries will need to be fixed to reflect your database) <?php $unixts = date("U"); $unix_12hours = date("U") - (12*60*60); $dbhost = "127.0.0.1"; //database host goes here $dbuser = "your_user"; //database user goes here $dbpass = "your_password"; //database password goes here $dbname = "world"; //database name goes here mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, dbpass); mysql_select_db($dbname); $user = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['user']); $success = true; $problemMessage = "Cannot connect to mysql server"; if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { if(!$user); { $problemMessage .= "Please enter your account name <br />"; $success = false; } if ($success) { $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as `total_users` FROM `users` WHERE `last_voted` <= $unix_12hours AND `username` = $username LIMIT 1;"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); if ($row['total_users'] == 1){ echo ("Thanks for voting!"); mysql_query("INSERT INTO mailbox_insert_queue VALUES('$user','$user','Thanks for voting','Thanks for voting for our server please take this token as a thank you from our staff Thanks from the Sinister WoW team','61','0','1234500','1')"); //1234500 is the id for our token mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `last_voted` = $unixts WHERE `username` = '$user' LIMIT 1;"); } else{ $problemMessage = "You have voted in the past 12 hours"; } } } ?> <html> <head> <title>Voting Page</title> </head> <body> <form> Username: <input name="user" type="text"/><br> <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Vote" /> </form> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155372-solved-need-add-a-timer/#findComment-817494 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsjava Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 as I said, you'll need to fix the SQL that I wrote to match your database, but other than that, yes. It will set up a timer. I didn't write the redirect, though. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155372-solved-need-add-a-timer/#findComment-817506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
