You would need to have your code check the time and decide whether or not to run the query. I can think of 2 different ways to do this. First, you could just build a condition in your SQL WHERE clause to check the system time to see if it's appropriate. This way would be a bit slower because it would actually have to connect to mysql and execute the statement whether it updates or not. The other way would be to put your query in a php condition block and use the php date function. > Also I thought session ID's were different between users. Is this true? Yes, this is true. If it were not then you would have users with the same session which would be amusing. A session ID is unique though eventually it will be reused I believe. Hope that helps.
