Why not store the winners in a table. Associate the entry with a question or set of questions and check each entry against the winners table to see if a winner already exists.

Hope you guys are doing good... Ok to the point... On my site, I am trying to sepparate a player from the rest of other players. Explaining myself better, my site goes like this. you answer a few questions, and if you are the first one to submit it, you win, but what I don't know how to do (well I do, but it's a tedious/not so good as code goes method) is that after the first person that submits the questions right, any other person that subkits the questions right, they get a message that says, "thank you for playing, we already have a winner for this game, please try your luck again next time" or somethign of that sort. how would I achieve this? Oh, also I just finished a 30 second commercial for my site, if you guys want to see it, here is the link: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV-jKoN8OJg]http://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=RV-jKoN8OJg[/url] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/message.cfm/messageid:3381 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15
