fantity Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) I am making a toplist for a game and users can vote their favorite one up every 24 hours. This is the mysql table: Here is an example entry: As you can see it was made on November 9th. Here is the code when they try to go to vote.php if they voted within 24 hours. $result = mysql_query("SELECT * from votes WHERE time > UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 3600 * 24 AND name='$uname'"); if(mysql_num_rows($result)==1){ header("location:voted.php"); } As long as my username is in the table it says that I've voted today. Anyone know how to fix this?

Pikachu2000 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 You're trying to directly compare two different formats; e.g. a TIMESTAMP field (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss) to a UNIX timestamp. $query = "SELECT COUNT(1) FROM table WHERE time > DATE_SUB( NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY ) AND uname = '$uname'"; $result = mysql_query($query); $array = mysql_fetch_row($result); if( $array[0] > 0 ) { // etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/270563-mysql-once-every-24-hours/#findComment-1391696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
