Hi there,

I am trying to set a cookie on html page with php code, which if cookie is not yet set shows content of a specific Div on that page (in this case it's div called Autoload). But after it's set (which is on next page refresh or reload) I want it to do nothing.

I came up with following code, but it wont work... It always displays Div content even if the cookie has been set (or probably because I haven't set it properly).

So what I need is:
User goes to page, Div content is shown, then on next refresh/reload Div is not shown anymore.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code I've put in the BODY of html page:

<?php
 if(isset($_COOKIE['imekukija']))
 {
 }
 else
 { echo
 ?>
 <div id="autoload">
 <script src="lightbox/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="lightbox/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="lightbox/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <a href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/images/index_open.jpg" rel="lightbox" id="img"></a>
 </div>
 <?php
  } 
 ?>
 
 
 <?php
 setcookie("imekukija", "nekiValue", time()+3600);
 ?>

The cookie needs to be set before you send any HTML as it set itself via a header request.

If you can't set your cookie before you send HTML, take a look at setting cookies via JavaScript.
