[java]skipping intro with cookies

[lexx] · May 19, 2005

I have been searching google for an example how to set up a cookie so that the user who opens

You must be registered to see links

and selects "do not show intro page anymore" box next time he loads

You must be registered to see links

is automatically forwarded to

You must be registered to see links

without showing intro. The cookie should have expiration (i.e. 24 days)...

If anyone has some spare time and knows java/php you could help me here...

Thanks

Code:

<?
header("Location: url");
?>

should do it

should do it

err... what's the use of it if I want to make the page visible/skipable with cookies depening on the viewer's preference...
this is only for including the external page into file, i think...

Well im quite new to PHP because i started 3 days ago but so far i have learnt abit on Cookies. This is the code for a cookie named "Ali" and expires after ten hours.

<?php
setcookie ("ali" , $name, time()+36000);
?>

Now to retrieve a cookie value and redirect to your page.

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE["ali"]))
echo "Welcome " . $_COOKIE["ali"] . "!<br />";
header("Location:http://www.ali.com");
else
echo "You are not logged in!<br />";
?>

If i am not correct please correct me lol so i learn my mistakes. Hope this helps you [lexx]

When I come back home, I'll test it.
But as far as see there's nothing about the checkbox.
The user, who enters to intro page and clicks on "never show me" does not see the intro page, and others, who do not click that option next time they enter the site are not auto-redirected to the portal.

Code:

oops

That'd be for the checkbox, abc.php is what you'd point it to (either a file that would set the cookie and then forward to the realsite index or point it directly to real index and just make it add the cookie there).

Code:

if (isset($_COOKIE['skip'])){
header("Location: url");
**else{
( print your index)
**

Put that on the index with the checkbox code, skip would be the name of the cookie to set.

i know that. every language is interesting/usefull if you know it well..

Well, I haven't tested the script IOD posted yet. I have some problems accessing my web server. Tomorrow (oh, that's today

) I will report it.

iod · May 26, 2005

So did it work out? I know what I posted was a little vague, I'm curious whether you got it working or not.

Oh, I was so busy so I even forgot about this. But I have tested it.
The problem is that I see only the checkbox, I think there should be a submit button, because it is not working..

You must be registered to see links

Since I don't understand the submit system I don't know what to add here...

iod · May 26, 2005

oops pasted the wrong thing

heres what i had before it submits when the box is checked

[lexx] · May 27, 2005

okey, so I have created two files:

test.php:

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
</script>
<form name="skip" method="post" action="cookie.php">
<input type="checkbox" name="checktest" onClick="DoSubmit();"> Skip the intro
</form>
</body>
</html>

and cookie.php:

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['skip'])){
header("Location: site_base/");
**else{
( print your index)
**
>

and when I click "Skip the intro" I see the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/webroot/fknevezis.lt/cookie.php on line 5

iod · May 27, 2005

end it with ?> and change ( print your index) to print whatever you want on the index

[lexx] · May 27, 2005

okey, so I have set the following in my cookie.php:

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['skip'])){
header("Location: intro.php");
**else{
header("Location: site_base/");
**
?>

now when I open test.php (

You must be registered to see links

) and click "skip the intro" I am auto pointed to site_base/ (that's good) but when I enter test.php again, I see the same page and I should have beend automatically redirected to site_base/ without showint the test.php content...

iod · May 27, 2005

you didnt add anything to set the cookie, here it is all in one file

[lexx] · May 27, 2005

I know I am starting to pi** you off but it does not work again.
I just copied, pastled everything to test.php (if it works, I will put this into index.php of my site). And I also changed index.php in that script to cookie.php.

But wait a minute. I am not sure now how it would work with two files...

Err, I will include that last code, that you posted here into index.php (my intro page). If the user chooses SKIP INTRO NEXT TIME he is redirected to site_base/ (if not, he has to click hyperlink ENTER THE SITE) and next time when he enters index.php he is automatically redirected to site_base/ without showing intro page...

So I am a bit confused, you see...

iod · May 27, 2005

k check this out

You must be registered to see links

that's all in one file using the script

check the box and you get redirected to site_base then go to

You must be registered to see links

again and you'll be redirected automaticly, thats what you want right?
