Redirect only once

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 24.2009

I have created a new page which should replace an old one.
The old one is in “/” and the new one is in “/v2/”.
I don’t want to change this and I don’t want to redirect always to the new page because then the content from the old page is not accessible anymore.
How can I achieve that a visitor will be redirected only at the first time of his visit (for 24 hours) with PHP?
Thanks

Set it to expire in 24 hours.

When a visitor visits your site, check to see if this cookie exists, if it does then load up the old page, if it doesn't then set it and load up the new page.

Don't forget to obey the cookie rules when setting a cookie - setcookie() can only be called BEFORE the browser receives any content (including whitespace) from your script.

Success!
