Thank you Matt.
Your response and suggestions were amazing and well detailed. It's
given me a lot more to think about and definitely helped me to see the
bigger picture and protection problems.
Although i may not get a large number of posts simultaneously, i will
need to think about either counting the current sessions or applying a
lock on a file, as the type of posts could mean that users spend 30
minutes writing the post before clicking submit. It sounds easier to
have a script that creates a temporary row in a sessions table as soon
as the Form Windows is opened. I would need to include a script just
before that to do a count on the session table. If the count is >= 5,
then don't display the input form and instead display the message,
otherwise show the form.
So to avoid being flamed, could I ask if anyone could recommend a good
place to start and the best programming language to go with? I'll be
very grateful for any links and additional pointers.
Many thanks again Matt for your post..
Lance
