Hi All,

I am developing a website and am having a requirement like
"For guest users only 5 searches available on a day ------"
I have did this functionality by keeping search information in database .I want to know is there any other way i can accomplish this functionality?

Thanks,
Jeena

0	Jeena, you are saying you want limited search for guest user, but you are keeping user-id in table to check. How a guest user can have user id, it can be possible if you store IP address of guest and restrict particular IP address to limited search in same day.

0	Jeena. Kindly tell us what is your current approach? We are confused as one side you say that guest , other side you say user id So as per my understanding You may have 2 approaches 1) You have free registered yours into your database and when they login into your site, you allowed that user 5 searches (as it is free user) but if they are registered user then he/she can do any no of searches. 2) Any guest visit your site and do searches. so you allowed only 5 searches unless and until he/she is registered your (free registration). If you are approaching the second approach, then how do you come to know guest has done 5 searches and you restrict the search means what you are storing into the database? Kindly clarify these things to get the desired answer. Jeena, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Hi, Sorry for the confusions..I meant guest as users who are registered to the system ,but not shared any credit information like that,,I can show and allow them to do a limit search only...The first approach Am seeking for option which can be done without DB..
