That part is simple - keep a counter - the simplest way is in a text file, which you read, - if it's less than 500 increment and write, - if it is 500, then do stuff, then write 0. >B- What do I add to the code so that a email address or person can >only submit it once in a designated time period (24 hours)? Email or person? You can't tell who the person is - you can tell if they are using the same computer (but it might be an internet cafe), and you can tell if they are using the same email address. Computers? - look into cookies Email addresses? - probably simpler to have a database. Or I suppose you could do it with cookies (but I wouldn't) -- Pete Clark http://www.hotcosta.com http://www.spanishholidaybookings.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
