I need some advice on how to approach this situation.

I have created a sign-up script for an event. The script limits the amount of entries into the database. When someone visits the page, if the limit has been reached, it displays a message saying all the spots are full.

My problem is, if someone signs-up for the last spot, they can hit the back button and keep signing up since the script won't check to see if the limit has been reached when they do that.

Do you have any suggestions? The following is my code:

PHP Code:

<?

$varCount = 40;

$varTotalEntries = $totalRows_event;



if ($varCount > $varTotalEntries){

?>







FORM GOES HERE







<?php

}

elseif ($varCount <= $varTotalEntries){

?>



<p>We're sorry, but all the spots are full.</p>



<?php } ?>

always check from the database! that's the solution

I will replace :

Code:

elseif ($varCount <= $varTotalEntries){

by:

Code:

else {

]

since the first condition is more important and the output is a booleam one

and I think that this var $totalRows_event is the limit with database right?
