Atlanticas Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I would like to do surveys and special contests for my members, but somehow control them from not submiting too many times. I would love to redirect them to a page or message that indicated they've already entered this survey. Is this complex or simple? And what info would you need from my database/php to help me?

Perad Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 You could make people enter a valid e-mail to enter, you can then check the e-mail against your db and see if they have already entered.EDIT: If they are already members, you could add a new table for each servey. One of your columns could be user_id. When the member clicks the button first time their user_id will be saved. If they click it a second time it will check for the members id and reject the second application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanticas Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 How can I do this? The web site is closed to only members, so they must login first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perad Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Are you running a forum? How are your members... err members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanticas Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Not a forum but some kind of PHP based MySQL database, not good with lingo and terms. You can login, access a Myacct area where you can change your password, email, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
