I was going to try and help, but there is not enough info here to know  
what your doing to try and help.
To ambiguous for me.

My guess is because you have the function being called when  
welcome_already_seen isset() and if it is not and if there is an error  
and if not, regardless of what page is being displayed.
Put the function call only in the switch statement for each page you  
want it called and not for 10.
