Mods Disable Accounts Plus Online Sessions

if ($_COOKIE[banned]=="TRUE"){
die("You are banned. Sorry.")
}

Just make sure to set the cookie to banned.

Che la stimo, che la stimo!

@ultra I was thinking the same thing.

You're going to have to create a ban system of some sort and it just so happens that I wrote a couple of blogs about a month ago on how to create a decent one. You can check them out here:

Part 1
Part 2

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

Like I said at the end of part 2, I apologize for any small syntax errors. I typed those up pretty quickly. I skimmed through the SQL code and I think the problem is this line:


length varchar(25)


There needs to be a comma at the end of that line.

The distinguished Ultragamer1 spake:

>implying cookies are good for bans.

He uses cookies. :P

Che la stimo, che la stimo!

I use sessions for my website. I just use cookies for his because that's already the system he made.

Che la stimo, che la stimo!

Sessions expire when the user closes their browser. Bans shouldn't use sessions. What they do is compare the current date and/or time with that of the ban time in the database. My ban system bases its ban time off of the time() function.

Lol..

Being different isn't bad (:

Put it in the database. Remember, databases are your friends! :D

Che la stimo, che la stimo!

The simplest way is to let admins have a page where they can delete the user from the database. I'll let you figure it out so you learn.

Hate is such a weak emotion

From the mention of Overlords and chatmins, your website concept doesn't sound profoundly "unique" as you would call it.

Also, for the record, given that browser cookies can be very easily deleted, using them to store ban information is one of the absolute worst ways to ban someone.

Catch my drift.

In my login system, it stores the bans in both a DB and a cookie. Person erases cookie=restarted ban.

You looked good. Until your 30 day trial for Photoshop expired.

Don't make your ban system out of cookies or sessions. -.-

(insert witty statement here)

Use ip and username instead.
