For anyone stuck in the loop problem, you need to add your domain into the setcookie values on the spash.php page.

eg:
setcookie(‘splash’, true, time()+(3600*12*7*52), ‘/’, ‘yourdomain.com’);

Hi thank you for script. It is perfect. Just one question. Is it possible make such thing.
when user visit website first time, he see Splash page (with choice go to website or get out from website). If he choose go to website than he will be redirected to main page (this part is clear for me), but if user choose get out from website than all cookies will be deleted and in next visit user again will see splash page.

Hey Daniel, yes one of the download links was not working. I have tidied the post up a bit now so only the one working download link is available – should all work for you now enjoy :-)

Hello Frank,

Is this script not available anymore? I’m getting a 404 error when I download it.

Hi Frank (and anyone else following)
I went back to the start, and uploaded the files to a test server on the web… VIOLA! It works. I can only assume that testing on my localhost was the problem. If anyone is experiencing the same loop problem, try testing it on a remote host server.
By the way, for interest’s sake, what should the permissions be for these files?
Furthermore… a big request… How can I use this script to fire something like Thickbox or Shadowbox – overlay full screen and server the webpage that way?
Thanks for your support!

This problem still puzzles me a bit. To be sure I downloaded the zip myself and gave it a try – one problem I had was with the permissions of the files. Make sure the files have the right permissions in order to set the cookies and run properly. Have a look at the other files on your server to get an idea of permissions.

HTH!

Hey Frank
I hate to join in the ugly mob, but I can’t get this script out of the “Test–Splash” loop either! I haven’t touched the code from the download. In FFX 3, I see nothing when I check the cookie information in the dev-bar. I’d paste all the code here, but it’s the same as the download (collected on May 9 ’09). Browsers affected: FFX3, IE7, Opera 9. Please help us, Obi-Wan…
