Please Suggest Me.

Answer 1

Here is my solution, maybe it will work.

After customer choose store to display, save the store code to session

$cookie = Mage::getSingleton('core/cookie');
$cookie->set('store_code', $storeCode, time() + 86400, '/');

In index.php add this code right before line Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);:

Mage::app();
if($cookie->get('store_code')){
    $mageRunCode = $cookie->get('store_code');
}
Mage::reset();

This will redirect customer to the store that he chose before.

Answer 2

Try storing data in session

$url = Mage::getBaseUrl();// Your website Or $url = 'www.google.com'; // Any random url

    Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setMySession($websiteUrl); //This will set data in the session
    $var = Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getMySession(); //This will retrive data from session
