Re: Date/Time Logic

Store the timestamp of their first login to a database. Also store the number of days (3, 90, 365) that there account is valid. Setup a script to nightly go through the database and for any records where: first_login_timstamp + number_of_days < right_now is true invalidate their login and send notifications. Pretty easy to do with the date/time functions in any database. Of if you can't use a database like that, store it all as numbers (timestamps - number of seconds since 1970...) and just do the math with 86400 seconds equalling one day. good luck!
