Using Cookies in Flash/PHP...

[Anon]

Great Resource for PHP Programmers guys! Thanks for all your help!
Now here's my problem:

I want to use a cookie, so when a new visitor enters my site will see the flash intro and then redirected to the main HTML site and when he visits my site again he won't see the flash intro for second time (that's boring), but he will be forwarded at the main HTML site... Anyone knows how to accomplish tat with PHP & Cookies.

I'm new to PHP so if you reply to my message, please be comprehensive...

THANKS...

<?
// untested code
setcookie('seentheflash',1,(time() + 315360000)),"/");
if(!$seentheflash)
{
// put your code to show the flash here
}?>
This sets a 10-year cookie that will be available to this page on any subsequent views, so the flash will not be shown.
