Question

How can i only save one profilevisit per hour? So if you visited at 10:10 then it wont save when you view the profile at 12:10 ?

My code right now that saves evrytime you visit:

$date = time();
$BuID= mysql_real_escape_string($v["id"]);
$uID= mysql_real_escape_string($showU["id"]);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users_profilevisits (uID, BuID, date) VALUES ('$uID', '$BuID', '$date')") or
                die(mysql_error());

update

function save(){
       mysql_query("INSERT INTO users_profilevisits (uID, BuID, date) VALUES ('$uID', '$BuID', '$date')") or
                die(mysql_error());
    $_SESSION['saved']=time();
 }

 if(isset($_SESSION['saved'])){
     $time = time();
     if($time-$_SESSION['saved'] > 3600){
        save();
        }
 }else{
    save();
}

select the timestamp and conditionally execute the save based on timestamp. alternatively, set a session variable and conditionally execute based on that value.

 if(isset($_SESSION['saved']){
     $time = time();
     if($time-$_SESSION['saved'] > 3600){
        save($uid,$buid);
 }else{
    save($uid,$buid);

 function save($uid,$buid){
    //save stuff here
    $_SESSION['saved']=time();
 }
