I have a form that I have programmed in PHP and upon completion of the form, sends the inputed information to my clients e-mail (acts as a lead) and redirects the user to the main part of the website, where you can access all of the content. Now, I need a little assistance on how to make it so if the same user comes back to the site again, they won’t always have to fill out the form and it will just forward them to the main page. I’m sure this is a simple cookie issue, but I’m not quite sure how to do it.

Thanks in advance!!

@GuitarGuyauthorDec 07.2010 — So you have a more clear idea of what I am wanting to do:

When you go to the url for the first time, the index page has the form on it that must be filled out before you can access the rest of the pages on the website (I have this set as a redirect in the php processing after you submit the form).

What coding would I have to add to the html on the form page (index) and/or my php processor and/or the html on the page you are redirected to?

My overall goal is for the user to only see the form page once, after they have submitted it the first time, the next time they visit the url, I want them automatically re-directed to the main part of the site since they already completed the form.

Success!
