just like you had mentioned embed this code at the very top of my primary page:

{
$_SESSION['phonenumber'] = '888-540-9909';
}
else
{
$_SESSION['phonenumber'] = '888-646-0860';
}
}
?>
Then call upon it somewhere on the page:
CODE B
PHP Code:
<?php session_start(); printf('<span class="phonenumbertext">%s</span>', $_SESSION['phonenumber']);?>
This works absolutely perfectly.
My issue now is - when navigating away from this page into my internal page - I have different header files - so when I use (Code B) it doesn't know what it is referencing.
On the flip side if I try to embed the first block of code (Code A) onto the other header files but this does not work because all traffic is coming through the home page - so the referring page is my own domain, the home page.
Is there a way I can put some code similiar to (Code A) on my internal pages that says 'ignore my own domain as the referer'
I apologize for the complete hassle with this but it's honestly just going over my head.
It's so very very close. |
session_start() has to be added to any script that intends to use it. It was pointed out not long ago to me that calling it multiple times will raise a notice, so simply put it in a global script to prevent inclusion conflict. So long as sessions are being passed, it shouldn't attempt to extract it again. It does also mean that if a client leaves your site, then comes back through a different route, the number won't change if it was done in less than about 1440 seconds and the garbage collector grabs the session.
You can detect your site using $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']. That could be useful to see if the referrer has changed.
