Limit the number of form submissions by IP address?
Hi,

I've seen a script somewhere on the net to limit the number of form submissions a user can make in any 24 hour period.

I've hunted high and low for this script - but I can't find it again. Does anyone know on which site this script is hosted?

Thank you for your help :-)

Regards
Trav

Its pretty simple. Just add some codes in the emailing section, and set/read a cookie, to see if they have submitted a form within th last 24 hours.

Like Andy said, it's better to use something else than IP Address, since with dialup and other Internet connections (like Satellite) that lack static public IP Addresses, you need to use something more secure and reliable.

Buh Bye!
