Hi

Is it possible to make a website in PHP which stops working after calculated period of time...like it will stop working after 3 months or it will require a password to operate after first 3 months?

Thanks

Code: Select all

<?php
if(time() > $allowable_time_frame)
{
    // Allowable time frame could be pulled from a file or database or whatever you like
    echo 'Nice try kiddo... beat it!';
    exit;
}

// Continue to website...

Hi Zoxive, Ninja

your idea is different from what Ninja explained? Ninja, if someone has access to this php file, they can just remove this part from the code and that lmit is gone forever....is there any any other way to do it?

Thanks

Hi

You mean to encrypt the whole php code?

Thanks

yes, or if you want to encrypt only data from database, try http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/128/0.php
