IP Throttling?

Hi Guys!

I'm trying to find some info on IP Throttling in PHP. This probably isn't the correct term for what I want to do, so I'll try and explain.

I have a small little web-program that I've been asked to write, and it involves people on the internet posting questions/answers to the application. The people in charge don't want the same person to be able to post more than once or twice in a given time frame (say a 24 hour period). Using PHP, what would be the best way to go about restricting a person's IP address after they've posted to the program?

I've been Googling "IP Throttling PHP" and not finding much because I don't think I'm using the right search terms.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Thanks!
