In my website i need to remember users that entered so next time thay enter i will show them content they were checking before.
Simplest way is IP check, but problem appears if there is a proxy. I dont want to run any java scripts on client side to get their ip.
Is there any way to determine user?
I know that also profiles – login would do, but i dont want to do so.
Thanks in advance,
Marek.
You could set a persistent cookie, but that will just remain for that specific browser. (and they could clear their cookies)
The most reliable way is to have your users log in with a username and password – then you can keep details specific to them in a database and modify the site’s behaviour like you mention next time they log in. However, this option doesn’t work for anonymous visitors.
