[adaml]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to make my site so that it is like

UPS.com as you select the site you would like (your country) and then

when you go to that page you can click a button that says make "Start

on this page the next time you visit UPS.com." and it sets a cookie

that makes it whenever i go to www.ups.com it goes to the United

Kingdom section without visting the country select page.

How can i make this cookie system work for my site?

Thanks

Easy...

Make a form with the list... then when the user submits you make a cookie with the country ID, if the checkbox is selected else just dirct them to the coutnry without making the cookie.

Then on the same page before even loading, check if the cookie value exist, if it does redirect to the country id in the cookie .

Peace,

How could i do this code? Is there any place to get this in a tutoiral or something as i havent a clue about cookies only know how to set them?

if ($checkbox=="1"){
setcookie("Country", $country);
}

That would do it, you then need to setup the redirect something like index.php?country=$country or by using another if else statement.

You can read about setting up cookies in a little more depth here: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
