Post subject: Only allow after 24 hours?

Okay, so I want to make a game for my users that will deal out daily prizes. That'll be simple.

The only thing I'm having issues with is the 24 hour part. I literally have no idea where to start. ._.

Anyone know what I need to do?

Assuming the time is static (eg not depending a user event) : you can call a php through CRON (if your provider allows it), or use your computer (or any other) to hit this php page once a day (using ie the window scheduler). You can also rely on having at least one visit a day (google ie icon_smile.gif), and execute your day treatment during this visit if not already done.

It does depend of the user, though. What I want is for them to go to a page and get a random prize. Once they go to that page, though, they must wait exactly 24 hours before they can claim the prize again.

So just store the last time the user claims his prize on the users table, adding a field, using time() to get the time.
