Re: timer in PHP

there is no sure way, but using cookies/sessions you can make something that will *work* . assign the user a session_id, every time the user makes an entry add a value to the db, session_id = $SessionID next_time = time() + 120 every time you make an entry, check to make sure that next_time < time() if it is then proceed, else update next_time = time + 300; If you need a code example email me, I'll whip something up :) -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com ""george"" <geo.mclachlan@btinternet.com> wrote in message news:9b1p05$t6c$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... I need to have a time running and after a certain time it will not allow you to submit anything else, on top of that if someone makes an entry with less than 2 minutes to go the time must be extended by 5 minutes. I really am at a loss how to do this. Can it be done.
