Help Making A Pass Through...

Zoosushi · 06-21-2005, 02:56 PM

Hello All,

I am needing to make a "splash page" that will only show one time and then never again if that user comes back to the website. An example is this website: http://www2.obamaforillinois.com/splash.php

Once you have been there, you are cookied and are not taken to that page again. Can anyone help me with this...i'm stumped. Thanks.

I think it does, but i need to know how to do it.

Put a cookie when user come the first time, and display your splash page. Then every time someone ask the index page, check if he has cookie or not... Not to hard to do if you have some basic PHP knowledges.

I unfortunately don't know how to make a cookie like that. Could anyone show me how to do that? I appreciate any help you can provide

Simple cookie tutorial :

And you could look the PHP manual too.

If the user used another computer, they would get the splash screen again. A good way is to use cookies AND a database of IP addresses. Assuming their IP is static, should help.
