Redirect once (per session) from body tag

At the start of your page, you could check a session variable indicating whether the page has already been redirected. If it's set then don't do the redirect. The following code needs to go before any other output.

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['redirected'])) {
	$_SESSION['redirected'] = true;
	header('Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/newPage.php');
}
?>

Select allOpen in new window

Any issues with this being in the global header file within template...this is a cms?  

As you can tell, I am new to sessions...it looks like the "if" statement there is saying "if this page has been redirected, then send them here".  

should

$_SESSION['redirected'] = true;

Select allOpen in new window

be set to "false" if I don't want it to redirect after the first time?

$_SESSION['redirected'] = true; is just setting the variable with a value. The line preceding it basically says 'if the redirected variable isn't already set, then set it and redirect.

That line could just as well say $_SESSION['redirected'] = "Yes Siree Bob!";

You don't need to check the value - just that it has been set to something

Thanks!
