A webform which allows two entries per month

Question

5.00/5 (2 votes)

I have a webform with four fields. Name, empno, date, reason.

Datas are inserting properly into the table. No issues with that.

Now I want to validate the form with two entries per month.

I'm clueless on how to approach this thing.

A user can only submit the form twice per month. Not more than that.

Any suggestions is highly appreciated.

Just add in a validation routine where you do a select count(*) as Solution 1 is suggesting. Very easy to do.

Why can't you make something like

[EDITED]

SQL

SELECT count(*) FROM your_table WHERE Month(date) = Month(getdate())
AND YEAR(date) = YEAR(GetDate())

before you try to insert into the table?

You do insert only if your result is < 2.

Make sure to add and YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GetDate())
