Cannot Register with same IP

[Mysterio]

As the other guys said, limiting IP is not good.

Still... If you searching for code solution instead of database solution, you can do something like this in your php code:

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE ip='$ip'"))==0) {
// register script
}
else {
// ip already registered
}

?>

im realise on that. but, mostly user in my country doesn't use same ip nowdays.

if you got mostly mobile users, they surelly use shared IP...
and even for PC users that wont be good...
think about dynamic IP's...
user will register with dynamic IP,
then same IP will gain another user sooner or later,
and it wont be able to register as IP will be already in DB...

you do realise this will really limit the potential number of members you have don't you?

I'm sure he doesnt realise that...
UNIQ `email` and ofcourse valid one, would be better solution

[something else]

ALTER TABLE users
ADD UNIQUE (ip)
