Hello dear friends ,

Consider we have a button where you should click

Is there anyone can help me and give the best idea how to make it limited

i means after 20 clicking on that button per person ( IP ) , it goes de-active / or / image / or / text for example says ( no more clicking )


Yes it could be very complex idea cause it may needs to recall a command at cronjob ( if i'm not wrong )



So the full story :-

i want a button that valid to be clicked 20 times per day , per person ( IP ) after the clicking 20 times , it gives msg says for example " come back 2morrow "


It is 20 times per person per day
just like some downloading websites, when you downloads many files after for example 20 downloads it gives you msg " no more download for you today "
so it is yes as you've said 20 times per person per day

i've tried to find any script has such function so i can isolate the code but i didn't find any , so i hope if someone can help me about that , making it as simple as it could
thanks in advance

thanks in advance and i know it maybe hard and may takes time
but i really with that help , will open a new area into my mind

(assuming you can make a id for the person whos pressing the button)
<?PHP setcookie("user", $_POST[name], time()+86400, '/')

$user = $_COOKIE["user"];
$path = "$user.txt";
$handle = fopen($path, 'r') or die("can't open file");
$data= file_get_contents($path);

data= data++;
fclose($handle);


if ($data < 20){
<a href="directions/left.php"><img src="yes" alt="Left" name="down" width="50" height="50" id="left" />;
}
else{
<a href="directions/left.php"><img src="no" alt="Left" name="down" width="50" height="50" id="left" />;
}

$path = "$user.txt";
$handle = fopen($path, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite ($path ,$data);

fclose($fh);

what a smart idea ...lol can't hold myself

it is very simple idea and not depending on database tables


thanks so much for this amazing idea

i will study every part of it , i like such smart idea
