Post file submission time out.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 24.2008

I’m working a file upload database, each file can currently be submitted by anyone. Which i know how to change, so that only members can submit a file.
I want to tweak it a little more so that the user is only allowed to submit a maximum of 1 successful file every 5 minutes.

Can someone point me into a direction of an example, or website link to session timeout, if thats what this is called. I do not know what to call this, so i do not know how to look it up,

Thanks

@ratcatemeAug 24.2008 — when you save a file to database with a unix timestamp then run a query like this
[code=php]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE user = '{$username}' AND time < ".time()-5*60*60.";") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($result == 0){
//do upload
}else{
echo "you uploaded a file within the last five minutes";
}[/code]
