Automatic disclaimer page

[Matthijs]

Hi all!
This is my first post.

I could use some input on the following topic:

On my webpage, I will show a disclaimer, that will show up on every page, until you click "I have read and understood the disclaimer".

This is not too hard, as I can use cookies for this. Once a user clicked the required button, a small script will set a cookie.

For browsers that do not allow cookies, I want to make it at least work for the duration of the session. For as far as I know I have at least two options to do this without cookies:

1- Add a variable, like ?disclaimer=understood in the URL
2- use a HTTP_POST_VAR to set disclaimer=understood

Both have the disadvantage of having to change all links on my page either by adding the ?disclaimer= or changing the page into a form.


Is there an easier way of transporting information across pages?

Matthijs

hello Matthijs:

this is just a trial, but you can bring variable by using session like this
in you 1s t page

<?php
session_start();
session_register("disclaimer"); <==dont put $ in disclaimer

//body here
?>

all pages should have sesions_start(); like
<?
session_start();

//body
?>

$disclaimer will be pass in all pages even if you will now use "?disclaimer="
