Auto Expiration

[miles_rich]

Is there any way that you can set something to auto expire? say i enter a message into the database, and set it to auto expire after 2 days, how could you do it??

You could run a cleanup script via crontab that deletes all the elements that have passed their expiration data.

i have done things similar to what you are wanting.

place in your SQL table with your items the date of the access or information the date of input such as 62603 (6/26/03)

$str1 = 62403 + 200;
$str2 = date("mdy");

if ($str2 >= $str1) {
echo "Your time has expired";
} else {
echo "Do something here";
}
