    On your main index.php file have a form where people enter their age. Then have that post back to index.php and have it check in PHP whether or not the age is greater than 18 and if so, set a session variable called "VERIFIED" to true, then do a header redirect to the main page of your site, and if not it will display an error saying you must be 18 to enter.

    Then on all the other pages of your site have a few lines of PHP checking to see if the session variable "VERIFIED" is true and if not then do a header redirect back to index.php.

    Make sure the PHP code checking the sessions variables and checking the age is at the VERY TOP of your pages before any other HTML code.

    That help?
