I would like to set a cookie on the user machine from first page load - this is a welcome message kind of thing so that they wont get it after the first site use. Or after registration and if they are logged in not sure yet..

So I would like to know a good place for the php for a start and based on this cookie I want to disable the display of a div using javascript. So I am saying I would like the page to be loaded.

I suppose I can set the cookie using php or javascript but I would like to get an accurate value of the ip.
Then on page load I can read this cookie via javascript and hide the div.

I have seen there are some special methods for setting and retrieving cookies in J2.5 I will look for a link.

But to a first question where can I add some custom php to my site that will be secure and not get wiped out by upgrading J.
Thanks
;D

That makes a lot of sense, I wrote a plugin (or customised a boilerplate one) for 1.5 before.

I am not sure of which event I should take advantage of. But I also need to get some javascript in there - can I do something like the following

echo ('<script>my javascript</script>');
