Question

Hi I have a php page that I want show it just one time per user.

I think this just might be possible with cookies,session-timeout or session-cookies.

But I’m not sure.

Thanks for your kindness 🙂

Answer 1

you answered your own question – by setting a cookie.

// check if they've been here, if they haven't set
// a cookie for subsequent visits
if($_COOKIE['beenhere']) { 
    setcookie("beenhere", '1');
}
else {
    // where you want them to go if they've seen this page
    header('Location: http://www.example.com/');

For more information:

• http://php.net/setcookie
• http://php.net/header

If you want a single user to -never- see the page again, you must set an expiration for the cookie (see linked page above) as closing the browser will eliminate the cookie as I’ve set it above.
