Since you were last here...

I would like to have it so users could go to a "What's New" page, however instead of having content just from that day or whatever, have all the new additions since the person last visited.

All I really know is that you would have to use cookies, which I unfortunately have no experience in using.

Do you guys have any ideas on a good way of doing this?

if u'r using a database a solution is to add a timestamp to the user and whatsnew table..
when the user logs in, retrieve the timestamp and update the timestamp to the current date/time.. then create a query that retrieves all records from the whatsnew table that are newer then the retrieved user timestamp.. e voila...

u can also do this with cookies, but u still have to create a timestamp to the whatsnew table.. feed a cookie with:
setcookie("lastlog", time()); (time() is the value (php timestamp) of the cookie, not the expire time).. do the same as above...

i think the first solution is better, because users can delete the cookie ...

"i think the first solution is better, because users can delete the cookie ..."

...and I think the second solution is better for exactly the same reason 😉
