setcookie

[addie]

hello again
i wanna know how can i protect example test.php from user that cannot enter twice on test.php during 1 hour? anyone know how it works ?

untested:

<?PHP
if (isset($_COOKIE['login'])) {
    exit ("You can only login once per hour");
}
else {
    setcookie ("login", true , time()+3600);
}

[addie]

i mean something like this but i dont know how it works

IF ($cookie == 1) {
include my site here
}
IF ($cookie == 2) {
die "u cant join this site twice";
}

I would just do something like this, as die() will stop the processing of the page:

if ($cookie == 2) { //$cookie should probably be $_COOKIE['cookiename']; unless you set up the $cookie var earlier
die ("u cant join this site twice"); 
}
