PhP - only edit at certain dates

rudeboymcc · 1 Mar 2006 at 11:24

hi. I've got a table with a field on it which users can change. however i don't want them to change it if the date in another field is less than 24 hours ahead. how would i do this?

if($date2 < 86400){
// dont let them change it
} else {
// ok
}

presuming the dates are store as timestamps

Code:

<?php

if (($datestamp + 86400) < time()) {
    //allow them to edit
} else {
   //don't
}

?>

$timestamp can be made up in various ways..

That would only let them edit it if the date were 1970-01-01.
