php timer

[zampu]

I recently started coding a new site, and i need a timer. Like if someone clicks a link they have to wait 10 seconds before clicking another link. How would i do this? Thanks.

Well, the timer part can be done very easily. Just do a google search for php timer. It will be very difficult to restrict them from clicking links. Most methods of doing this can be beaten quite easily. I would suggest using javascript to make the links inactive during the 10 seconds, and then enable them after. Like I said earlier, this isn't fool proof, and can be gotten around quite easily.

I decided to do this using cookies, just set one and have it expire in 10 seconds, then just use if isset to check if it's there or not. I know cookies are editable, but i named it user, so people would think it is login credidential stuff, and maybe even waste their time trying to crack a made up encryption. :P

Ok, it's your call. Another thing you could do is load a flash movie after they click a link. The flash movie will be loaded directly over all the other links, thus preventing them from clicking any until the movie disappears.

That is a good idea. Then i could get money from Cost Per Click, or Cost Per M (dk what the M stands for), advertisers. Thanks Cheater.

"CPM stands for "cost per 1000 impressions." Advertisers running CPM ads set their desired price per 1000 ads served, select the specific sites on which to show their ads, and pay each time their ad appears."

Sorry, I don't know of any sites that do that. You might be better off trying to make it yourself.
