Solve this design problem

I'm trying to make a custom menu that only gives you the options once you have walked through my tour page by page, step by step.

So if you've been to page 3, you can see the links to page 1 and 2 - but not 5 or 6.

As you go through the site, your options increase.

Homepage.
Homepage - Page 1
Homepage - Page 1 - Page 2
Homepage - Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3

etc etc

How would you accomplish this?

Cookies + javascript.

The if then do thing could be good...

How would I do that? I'm not a coder.

This can be done without code but I wouldn't recommend it. You would have to create pages that were exactly identical expect for those options. Are you trying to do some kind of progressive from? Usually that's not the way you handle it.

For a client. I hate the idea, but he wants it.

Easiest way is to use Cookies/Sessions.

Easiest is with PHP, but you could also use javascript to produce the cookies. Sessions are over-rated and actually have several flaws upon creation...not to mention you need to watch your coding habits while working with sessions. I prefer cookies because of those reasons.

Quote:

<?php
// for page 1
$ipp = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
setcookie('my_page1', $ipp, (time()+12800), '/', '', 0);

// for page 2
setcookie('my_page2', $ipp, (time()+12800), '/', '', 0);

// etc

// to check page 1
if(isset($_COOKIE['my_page1'])){
echo 'User has viewed page 1.';
}

// to check page 2
if(isset($_COOKIE['my_page2'])){
echo 'User has viewed page 2.';
}

// etc.
?>

You really should just hire a programmer to do it though. It's actually quite simple.
