How can I force users to wait 60 seconds between sending emails. This is the code I'm using inside codeigniter controller, that doesn't seem to work for me.
contact.php = controller
Code:
function send()
{
$this->load->library('session');
$this->session->set_userdata('lastsent', microtime());
if(microtime() >= $this->session->userdata('lastsent') + 60000000)
{
// here I have all my send email code, that works.
...
$data['message'] = 'Email was sent, thank you.';
$this->load->view('contact', $data);
}
else
{
$data['message'] = 'Please wait 60 seconds.';
$this->load->view('contact', $data);
} //timeout check
} //send()Forum Submit 60 seconds time limit ? - El Forum - 03-31-2011

You should make another function to wrapper your delay time. I think InsiteFX suggest, 'sleep()', will work for it.

Not very nice using cookies for something like that. If you're using a database just log by ip inside that and have a date field in it.. you get the point. If you're afraid the database will be too large in size just make so that every time it inserts a new row it will also remove old rows by using the date.

Code:
if ($cokietime - now() >60 ) {
//send email

If they clean their cookies you will have a problem on your hand. I suppose you can use db sessions but then we're back to a database solution again
