I have this function which is for throttling login, but I have problem, the pdo connections do not work inside the function, it gives me error for "undefined $conn or call to a member query function on null", if I'm correct it is due to the scope, is there any work around this?
<?php
function check(){
function get_multiple_rows($getfailed) {
$rows = array();
while($row = $getfailed->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$rows[] = $row;
}
return $rows;
}
$throttle = array(1 => 1, 5 => 2, 30 => 10);
if ($getfailed = $conn->query("SELECT MAX(attempted) AS attempted FROM failed_logins")){
$rows = get_multiple_rows($getfailed);
$getfailed->closeCursor();
$latest_attempt = (int) date('U', strtotime($rows[0]['attempted']));
if ($getfailed = $conn->query("SELECT COUNT(1) AS failed FROM failed_logins WHERE attempted > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 15 minute)")){
$rows = get_multiple_rows($getfailed);
$getfailed->closeCursor();
$failed_attempts = (int) $rows[0]['failed'];
krsort($throttle);
foreach ($throttle as $attempts => $delay){
if ($failed_attempts > $attempts) {
$remaining_delay = (time() - $latest_attempt) - $delay;
if ($remaining_delay < 0){
echo "You have exceeded the login attempts limit";
}
return false;
break;
}else{
return true;
}
}
}
}
}
?>
