[PHP] Re: Date/Time Logic
Store the timestamp of their first login to a database. Also store the number of days (3, 90, 365) that there account is valid. Setup a script to nightly go through the database and for any records where: first_login_timstamp + number_of_days right_now is true invalidate their login and send notifications. Pretty easy to do with the date/time functions in any database. Of if you can't use a database like that, store it all as numbers (timestamps - number of seconds since 1970...) and just do the math with 86400 seconds equalling one day. good luck!

Afterwards the User should be allowed either 3 days / 3 months/1 year of access to the site. Once the stipulated time period is over the system should invalidate the login of the user. The Admin/ User should get email notification about this. The notification part is easy the hard part to figure out is how to be able to keep and tab on the Time Period stipulated for a user.

Think of it this way: WHERE session.Date DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 HOUR) is equal to: WHERE 2001-07-24 15:03:24 SUBTRACTION( 2001-07-24 15:30:21, 00:01:00) = WHERE 2001-07-24 15:03:24 2001-07-24 14:30:21 That seems right now, but it doesn't work Ryan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 2:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Date/Time Query Help On Tue, 24 Jul 2001 15:09:14 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ryan Shrout) wrote: I need a MySQL query that will select all the entries in it made within the last hour.
