Vote once with Status: ON / OFF feature

Good day,
im using this code posted somewhere on other forum,.

[code=php]<?php
mysql_connect(“localhost”, “root”, “password”);
mysql_select_db(“webcodez”);
?>
<form action=”<?=$_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];?>” method=”post”>
<input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”dai to4ka” class=”bt_register” />
</form>
<?php
$id = (int)$_GET[‘id’];
if($_POST[‘submit’]==’dai to4ka’)
{
$timeout=10; //60*60*24 seconds = 1 day
$time=time();
$out=$time-$timeout;
$ip=$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’];
$check_double=mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM ips WHERE ip=’$ip’ AND time>$out”)or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($check_double)>0){
echo “one time pls “;
}
else{
echo “success”;
$vote=mysql_query(“INSERT INTO ips(ip,time) VALUES(‘$ip’,’$time’)”);
//$query = mysql_query(” UPDATE `tz_members` SET point = point + 1 WHERE id = $id;”) or die(mysql_error());
}

}[/code]

It works fine, but i want to add a STATUS: ON / OFF

if the status is ON then the user can vote..
otherwise, if status is OFF, the user can’t vote at all + error message saying “Voting is off, you can’t vote at this moment”

btw, changing of status can only be access by the admin side..
Thank you so much..
