Does anyone do free script writing?

It's something simple... I think but I'm not advanced enough in php to do it ): And I don't have money to pay someone to do it either ): I need to limit users from adding dragons that have less then 3 days to live. My site is a fansite based on dragcave.net. If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it

 

Great site I must say

 

You know it??? Could you help me?

 

Pardon me for not completely understanding the question, but you could add something as simple as this if statement:

Please note you'll have to change the database settings obviously as well as the vars and database data. I am not sure how you plan on looking up the dragon (is it within the user's account? In a drop down? or something? ID would be most efficient but in this example I'm going to search by name.) PM me if you need more help.

<?php
// My assumption is you're using sessions for users?
session_start();

// Basic MySQL connection unless you have a class/function for it
mysql_connect("localhost","USER","PASS");
mysql_select_db("USER_DATABASE");

// Provided that you're using sessions and the dragon name was posted through a user input
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * from users WHERE user='".mysql_escape_string($_SESSION['username'])."' AND dragon_name='".mysql_escape_string($_POST['dragon_name'])."' LIMIT 1;");

while($row == mysql_fetch_array($query)){
     // Assuming your "lives_remaining" column is where the lives are stored
     $lives = stripslashes($row['lives_remaining']);
}

if($lives < 3){
     echo("Your dragon must have at least 3 days left to live to be added.");
     exit;
}
?>

PHP:

Again difficult without knowing the exact situation of everything but that is an example of what you could do!

if ($dragons < $three_days_to_live) {
    limit_dragons()
}

Code (markup):

sorry...I had to do that ;-) great idea for a script!
