Hey all,
I've been trying to find a tutorial and doing trial and error scripting to try and figure out how to create a page that is only view on a visitors first visit to my site and then they don't see it again. It's for a warning/disclaimer at the entrance to my website, but I don't want my visitors to have to view that page EVERY time they enter my site.

The code I'm trying to get it to work with is:

$choose = ($_POST['choose']);

// If they do accept..
if ($choose == 'yes')
{
header("Refresh: 2; URL=main.php");
echo " "; }

// If they do not choose..
elseif ($choose == '')
{

echo 'Sorry, you must choose "yes" or "no" to be able to continue on to the site or leave by this method.<br />';
echo '<a href="javascript:history.back(1)">Try again</a>.';

}

// If they do not accept..
else
{
header("Refresh: 20; URL=http://www.google.com/");
echo "You are now being redirected to a safer website. Please wait...<br /><br /><br />

exit(); }

If anyone has any ideas are actually knows how to do this, I would certainly appreciate the advice/help.

Thanks,
Tyr.

Try setting a cookie that says they've viewed that page, or record their ip into a database, and use that to see if they've already been there.
