LOGIN FAIL SCRIPT!

[Gibbo]

I was wondering if anyone can help me!!! I need some sort of script so if someone fails to login to there retro account 4 times it will block them from trying for 15 mins.

Thanks, Gibbo

Well I do not know for sure, but maybe take a look at vBulliten's source, because they block you from logging in for x amount of time if you fail 5 times.

You could do a session to log it each time, count i tupto 4, and then from there on, you'd have to somehow whip up a timer maybe in another session(not sure?) and just block them or do a script to log it, then remove it.

Try using the date and time feature. Store the date + time in the Cookie and do something like
if{$currenttime >= $_SESSION['time'] + {ban time}) {
}
Not sure if that is right way of doing it.

If They Cleared their Cookies, they would be able to log in again.

Hook into the already existing ban system, and have it issue a ban for 15 minutes, that way, it properly logs everything without you having to muck around too much.

Use database bans then. Same way as I said but instead of session, pull the ip banned time from the db and then match it up.
