[quote author="suashi" date="1236646949"]Let's say our counter variable is named
attempts
With that in mind you can retrieve/set the value at each login attempt like:
Code:
$current_attempts = $this->session->userdata('attempts'); // retrieve old value
$this->session->set_userdata('attempts', $current_attempts++); // set new value
Of course you should check the number of attempts before setting the new value and even before trying to login the user.
I don't know if you already did it, but you can set the expiration time for the session in the config file, it's named
sess_expiration
Anyway I just came back home and I'm downloading the lib cause I want to try it out![/quote]
Of course, I've done so much coding on this and other things the past few weeks I can't remember what I've released and what's still on my machine.
If I set the session expiration to 15 minutes (the time the login attempts would be 5), wouldn't that make the whole session only last for 15 minutes?
