jdock1 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 For one of my javascript/php scripts , I have a demo up & I do not want people taking advantage of the demo and using it all the time. How could I make it so the user can only access the page 3 times in a 24 hour period?? I couldnt think of anything Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208714-how-would-i-make-it-so-a-user-can-only-access-a-certain-page-3-times/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

.josh Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 without forcing the user to register there is little you can do to prevent it. You can: - set a cookie and look for it, hope the user doesn't delete it - grab and store IP address and compare it with request, hope the user doesn't go through a proxy or there aren't multiple users on the same network with a login system: - real easy to enforce it on the account, but you are basically back to the above as far as users signing up with multiple accounts Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208714-how-would-i-make-it-so-a-user-can-only-access-a-certain-page-3-times/#findComment-1090441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.josh Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The script for those are fairly easy to write, especially the cookie one, the problem I was pointing out though is that they aren't very reliable.

I cant believe I didnt think of that earlier. I got it working by storing the IP address in a database and matching it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208714-how-would-i-make-it-so-a-user-can-only-access-a-certain-page-3-times/#findComment-1090816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
