Hi guys,

I am working on accounts application, my client needs a login check like if a user comes on site and login with invalid usrename or password ill save the ip address of user and time of attempt in timestamp.

now i want to check if a user attempted 10 times in last 10 minutes with same ip then i will block his/her ip for ten minutes.

all the work is done just getting problem in getting last 10 minutes time. how can i get the time of last 10 minutes.

Any help will be appriciated

Thanks

Several ways I'm sure. Here are two:

$ten_minutes_ago = time() - 600;

$ten_minutes_ago = strtotime("-10 minutes");

It really depends how you want to check it but as abracadaver showed, you can easily do math operations on time.
