hello guys,

 

i have to continue my work more complex.. but i dont have any idea to do that...

 

i want to restrict user from "edit" existing data, after a set of date...

an example, a user input a value in "marks" in 1st January, and they can change it back if they want... BUT on 1st April 12AM, the user cannot "edit" the value of marks.

for the input type of marks, i have use a textbox.. so that on 1st April 12AM, the textbox will automatically disable (cannot edit it, but still can see, basically in a grey color)...

 

i still not do any coding for this coz i really dont have any idea.. how to start and where....

 

can anyone tutor me?

 

i'm beginner in programming...

That's all PHP-side, not in the DB.

someone told me use the TRIGGER.. i have see tutorial for TRIGGER..

erm... still use DB right?

 

ok i will learn how php can do this...

you will probably need to do something like this:

 

if(time() >= mktime(0,0,0,4,1,date('Y'))){
echo '<textarea disabled="disabled"></textarea>';
} else {
echo '<textarea></textarea>';
}

 

I dont know exactly what you are trying to do but you could compare the current time with the date that you want it not to be editable after (pretty much what I just showed you). This snippet of code will pretty much disable the textarea if the date is after april 1st of the current year. If thats not right then we will need to see some code and have a little more detail on what you are trying to accomplish.
