Some kind of timelimit

yes indeed, read up on sessions. the basic idea would be to start a new session when some runs your script which would log the date/time. the next time that the script is run you simly check to see if the log time is set and if it is 2 minutes old. this however is not entirely fool proof as there are easy ways for users to kill their session and re-run your script. you could also do an IP check but this too is not entirely reliable.

the basic idea:

<?
session_start();
$timestamp = time();
if (!isset($_SESSION['timestamp']))
{
	$_SESSION['timestamp'] = $timestamp;
}
else
{
	$diff = $timestamp - $_SESSION['timestamp'];
	if ($diff < 120) {echo 'you have been here within the last 2 minutes';}
	else {echo 'you have NOT been here within the last 2 minutes';}
	$_SESSION['timestamp'] = $timestamp;
}
?>
