Form help - restricting usage

[adammc]

Hi Guys,

I am creating a script that allows users to create an email account at mydomain. (Cpanel)

I would like to restrict usage of the script to prevent misuse. How could I do error checking to ensure that the script is only used once within a 5 minute timeframe?

Or am I going about this the wrong way?

Where do you store the email?
If in db, then you could store there creation time as well, and on another attempt check that time. If it exeeds 5 minutes, then create account, if not, then forbid.
