Promo Codes

Why is it that I can't let each user on the site use the same promo code once each? I want to give everyone an item but only let them get it once each by entering the same promo code. How can I achieve this?

I assume it's this part?

Code:



  private function checknumber(){

      $data = $GLOBALS['adopts']->select("messages", array(), "touser='{$loggedinname}' and status='unread'")->fetchAll();

          

      if($this->availability == 0){

             // The promocode has been used, so it is unavailable now...

                 

                 $this->message .= "The promocode has been used before and is now unavailable. Please contact the admin if you believe this is a mistake.<br>";

                 return FALSE;

          }

          else return TRUE;

  }

Well because the way this system is designed does not support advanced usage of public promocodes. And in fact to make a promocode available for each user only once, it will require a bit more coding than I had envisioned at the very beginning. You need to create a field in your database table prefix.promocodes to keep track of a list of users who have used this specific promocode. It may not be difficult, but sure can be tedious.
