how do you make an audio widget play only on the first visit to my site?

I don't know much about video. I have a Soudboard widget that I would like to play when someone comes to my site for the first time. Can it be set up to recognize the cookies and not play on subsequent visits? Is there a way to manipulate the code to do this?

 

if !cookie { embed video }

 

or you can save IP address from your visitor on database, and enable video if database didn't have data from your visitor.

 

Ansi, what do you mean by that? if !cookie { embed video }

 

basically it's pseudocode describing a method to do what it is you want to do. if the cookie isnt set, embed the video.

php code would look something like this:

 <?php if( !isset( $_COOKIE['myvideohasbeenshown'] ) ) { set cookie... embed video .... } ?>

PHP:

 

Ansi thanks for your help. I do believe that this is over my head.

 

msg me if you want and ill do it for like $20. im sure you can find someone to do it for $1 on here though but i'm not a beginner and i have to earn a living as a freelancer. it's up to you. my normal rate is $65/hour with a minimum of 1 hour but since this only like 5 minutes of work or less, $20 seems plenty fair to me. like i said if that is too much, someone will do it for a buck or two.
