    Hi everyone,

    So im looking to get 2 homepages, the first one will be to greet visitors and offer them to go to another one of my sites or stay on the current site, i will be doing this by having 2 basic html links. And the other page will be if they clicked to stay on the site, so the proper home page of the current site. I want to avoid creating 2 separate pages which would cause the url to be something like example.com/home

    Is there any way of doing this via some php on the link to stay on this site or is it impossible resulting in me having to use the /home way in the url? :confused:

    Thanks in advance =]

    Ajax would do this very nicely. I can code it up for $10. It would be one html page and I can do it now. Paypal payment when done.

    Yeah because 99% of the world don't use popup stoppers. *sarcasm*

    would it be possible to do this via setting a cookie on the link and if the cookie is set, it displays the home page, if not it shows the 2 links?

    Why would you want to do that? What about browsers blocking cookies?

    You'd still need either 2 to 3 pages or Ajax.... whether you use cookies or php sessions.

    Cookies are packets of data stored in the users browser. A cookie does not decide what page to show. You need a script to set/read cookies.

    So would something like this work?

    
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Ajax Set Get Cookie</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
		$("#setcookie").click(function() {
			if($("#cookievalue").val() != '')
				setCookie( $("#cookievalue").val() );
		});
		$("#getcookie").click(function() {
			getCookie();
		});
	 });
function setCookie(value)
{
	$.get("../cookie.php", { cookie: value}, 
		function(data){
			alert(data);
		}
	);
}
function getCookie(value)
{
	$.get("../cookie.php", { }, 
		function(data){
			alert(data);
		}
	);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center"> Cookie:
  <input type="text" id="cookievalue" value="" />
  <br />
  <a href="#"><input type="button" id="setcookie" value="Set Cookie"  /></a>
  <a href="http://othersite.co.uk">Other link</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
    HTML:
    with 

    
<?php
if($_GET['cookie']!='')
{
	setcookie("cookie", $_GET['cookie']);
	echo 'set cookie: ' . $_GET['cookie'];
}
else
	echo 'get cookie: ' . $_COOKIE["cookie"];
?>

    WTF? lol

    Why dont you just have it chang ethe DIV content based on the button clicked? Cookies not needed. You are overthinking it.
