upload files protection

[sluimers]

I just snatched the code from http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/bealers20000904.php3
and used in my web page. Now it works perfectly, only it's not exactly what I'm looking for. The reason is that I want people to upload large files to me but since I don't have unlimited space I don't want them to send more than one file a day. How do I do that?

ever thought about our magical cookie..

actually its not magical but it is a cookie

setcookie("UploadFile","store some info from com" time()+606024);

you can read up on cookies and all that.. in the manual of course

now then to see if the cookie exists

if you use the cookie i had then this should work

if(!empty*$_COOKIE['UploadFile']))
{
execute what happens if they uploaded on that day
}
else
{
allow them to upload
}
