RE: [PHP] Tell me how I can...

[snip] How can I control the number of users? I want to create a DB driven website where users create their own user accounts. But with a limitation of the number of accounts, and when the maximum is reached, no one can create a new account. I even want to limit the lifetime of an account. It may be explained in the mysql documentation, but I can't find it (and I'm very much a newbie in this field). [/snip] Control it with your user account creation form and either a text file with a number or a table containing number information. In form $max_users = 50; //get info from data table or text file if($current_number < $max_users){ //when this registration is done $current_number++; } HTH!
