Re: Setting a global variable

Sure. If you're using a global includes page in each of your site pages, just check whether or not the variable exists within your includes page. For example, global_vars.php, or whatever you want to name it, would be included at the top of each page in your site and would contain the following simple code snippet: <? if (!$VARIABLE_TO_SET) { $VARIABLE_TO_SET = some_value_here; } ?> There are I'm sure more elegant solutions, but this will do the trick if you're looking for a quick and easy solution........ --Noah "Don" <donpro@lclcan.com> wrote in message news:006601c31f04$526a3c10$c889cdcd@enterprise... > Hi, > > Is there a way to set a PHP variable the first time a user enters a website > that will remain global throughout the entire site but does not use > sessions?
