mattal999 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 i have a page, gorace.php, that lets users have a race. When the race is finished (javascript) then the page goes to wither won.php, or lost.php whch adds the value of 1 onto racestoday in a mysql table. my question is: How can i make it limited to 2 races a day? thanks!

rarebit Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 either you display the race data or not! Maybe just give them a picture of the bookies with a closed sign?
