Hi, I have some code in my index.php file that check the user agent and redirects to a warning page if IE 6 or less is encountered. 1. I'm using a framework and so calls to all pages go through index.php 2. The code that checks for IE 6 or less and redirects is in index.php I know how to redirect the users but what I want to do is redirect a user ONLY the first time the web site is accessed regardless of what page they first access. I would like to minimize overhead (no database). Can this be done? Thanks, Don --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Probably the best way I could think of would be to set a cookie on their computer that you check for when they come and redirect based on that cookie. It's not completely fail proof because all they have to do is clear cookies and they will see it again but it should work for most people.
