Loading files if cookie isn't found? + Rep for best answer!

Hey Everyone,

I'm in need of a script that will load a file if it can't find a cookie on that persons computer and then write a cookie to that user, does anyone know of a script that could do this.

+ Rep for best answer!

Thanks!

 

<?php

if(isset($_COOKIE['whatever'])){
require_once('thefile.php');
}else{
setcookie('whatever,'true', time() + (900*1100));
}
?>

PHP:

 

Thank you! + Rep!

 

oh wait, I forgot "true" is reserved

<?php

//if the cookie isn't set, 
if($_COOKIE['whatever']!=1){

//make a file named "myfile.php", and put it in the same directory as this scripts in
//there's other ways to do this that may be better depending on your situation
//but this is the easiest and will work for you

require_once('thefile.php');

	}else{

//set the cookie
setcookie('whatever,'1', time() + (900*1100));

}
?> 

PHP:

 

Whooops, this will flag a warning message if the variable is not set.

Try:

if (!empty($_COOKIE['whatever']))
