Show a page to a visitor once...

dc1pop · May 17, 2006

I would like to create a intro page to one of my websites. It will just be for example a image welcoming them to the site.

Just wanted to knwo would it be possible to only show this page once per user(IP) per 24 hours and if they do hit that page again to automatically forward them to the main site?

Thanks,

Darren

Yes, this is possible.

before the head of your document you will need to put in something like:

PHP:

<?php 
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
[[your $db statement here to see if the ip is in your database, if it is get the time it was entered.]]

if ([time < 24 hours]) 
{
  header("location: http://www.hobnobdesign.com");
} 
else
{
  if ([$ip is not in the database])
  {
     [Insert ip and time into database]
  }
  else
  {
     [Update the time for that ip to now]
  }
}
?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<Your intro page html code here>
</body>
</html>

I'm sure there are diffrent ways, but this is the way I would use. Hope it helps you.
