No, because that is the domain of the web browser.  Sessions have their own expiration mechanism, and while you can try and get in the middle of navigation using javascript, users really don't like it for good reason, and may avoid your site simply because you're interfering in things that aren't your business, as a website purveyor.

OK, I'm cool with that. I don't want to be invasive.

 

Here is my problem:

I have a client that wants a US version of their site and an International version. The US version is identical except it is missing any reference to a certain medical procedure. My solution was to create a little form on the index page that set a session variable of USA or International  for the user's $_SESSION['country']  - then I just put conditional statements around content I wanted to not show for US folks.

 

My problem is that every time a user clicks on a internal link they are shown the form - unless I code the form like this:

<?php
// this goes on the very top of the index.php file in the template you are using
if(!isset($_POST['location']) && !isset($_SESSION)){
?>
<!-- //Place the HTML for the landing page below here -->
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<title>Surgimap Spine Choose Your Site</title>
</head>
<!-- // make sure you have the right path speced for the images -->
<body style="background: url(welcomepage/images/background.gif) repeat-x #4fbbef; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #474845; ">
<div id="container" style="margin-top: 200px; text-align: center;">
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="welcomepage/images/logo.gif" ></p>
<div align="center">
<p align="center"> </p>
<!-- change the action to "index.php" for live site-->
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800" id="table1">
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value="USA Website" name="location" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="International Website" name="location" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

<?php
}else{
session_start();

$_SESSION['country'] = $_POST['location'];
$country = $_SESSION['country'];
// this ends the head section modification of the index.php
?>

 

but this will not allow a user to change locations until the SESSION is terminated.

 

Is there a better way to do this?

I only have one page technically (index.php) and this is it. But I did move the session_start() to the very top and I also moved the splash starter form to the bottom of the page instead of the top. However, I still needed to refresh the page to get the Session conditionals to work when the actual page first appears.

<?php
session_start();
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}

<?php
// this goes on the very top of the index.php file in the template you are using

$_SESSION['country'] = $_POST['location'];
