It only adds a new db entry IF a user tries to submit something
when they are still not allowed too.
And the only thing it adds is their IP address into a seperate table,
to help me see who tries to flood.
and no, it does not update any timestamp.
This does exactly what I was needing.
Since I do not have members, I need a way to control people from
spamming. Just like how shoutboxes can control anoymous submits.
This does just that.
When you make a post, your info is stored in the database.
Then you make a new post the above script checks to see if your ip
is found anywhere in the database and if it is it then checks the
last time available for the last record of your IP.
If the time is to short, it then blocks your submission, and adds your IP
to a seperate table I created just for code like this, So I can see who
abuses and who doesnt.
If your IP is not found, then it updates with your post.
If you IP is found and the time is past the spam time,
then your info gets inserted into a new row just like I want it to be.
Maybe your thinking about a members table, where a new row is NOT created,
rather then the current member row being updated.
The above code is just a snippet of the whole code.
This is just my flood checker

Not the code that actually does the insertion
of posts.... etc....
Maybe thats how you seemed confused?
Regardless, this does do exactly What I need.
