    Hi,

    I am looking for PIN / Product code validation only for single time. That means, my list of code will be stored and people can validate their product once only.

    I have googled and found that https://www.astro-labs.net is using same plugin and functionality.

    The purpose of this functionality is – users can validate their product authenticity and check if it related to firm or not. that too ONCE ONLY.

    Suppose Mr. X comes to our website and put a given code say 000K90 on website- it will notify to Mr. X that their product has been authenticated. NOBODY CAN USE THAT CODE AGAIN including Mr. X.

    I will really appreciate your help!

    Hi Rishabh,

    You would need to have the functionality to record the product codes (outside of the validation plugin) once it is successfully submitted. Assuming you store the code in the database you can then use the PHP validation to see if the code exists and return an error. The best way to do this would be to create an API around your functionality, then the validation would look something like:

    if ( MyUtilClass::productCodeUsed( $value ) ){
    return "The product code {$value} may only be used once.";
}
