Hi i have a very simple question . I have a home page it will open with a pop up to choose a region ex: chennai, delhi, banglore, etc.. once a user select any region it will go to the separate pages. But now what i need is if user click back button or try to go home page he need to go the selected regions previously. For simple to understand user can redirect from home page to previous page using cookies or any other options please help me thanks in advance.

At the homepage, check if there is a session value for "region" like isset($_SESSION['region']). IF not then display the popup to select the region. When the region is selected, redirect to that region page and set $_SESSION['region'] = 'regionName'; Now when user comes to homepage, our first condition which is isset($_SESSION['region']) will be checked and if true will redirect to that region page. So there wont be any use of cookies as such. But still if you want to use cookies, You can use the same logic to check if value exists in cookies then redirect to that region page else show popup.

You can't change the behaviour of the "back-button" in browsers.

It's possbile to do this with anchors e.g. site.com/#blabla or sessions (php)
