Question

Hi I've been trying to Send Urls to customers after order has been made in a e-commerce site, a Electronic Biling will be sent to the customer with a URL of the payment page, Now what I want to do is to make that URL expire in 2 days if he/she has not made any payment. Im using PHP CI and new to it, Any tips will be appreciated guys. Thanks

Answer 1

I would crate a table in the database to hold tokens ( or store a token with the order ), which would just be a unique ( somewhat random string ) then in that table you can add a created time. You could also associate this to the order and user that it belongs to.

You would use this token as a parameter for the url, for example

www.yoursite.com/payments/abesc90ksade8

With the end part abe... the token. then in the controller for that page you can query the database for the token sent, and depending on the current date and the created date, either generate your payment page, or show them and expiration error etc...

If you need more info just ask.

What I like to do to generate tokens is this

$token = md5( microtime() );
