last viewed pages in cookie

[gdfhghjdfghgfhf]

I have very little experience with cookies so i don't know how to do that

 

I have a t-shirt shop where each t-shirt has an $articleID

 

Each time an user visits a t-shirt page, i would like to add the $articleID to a cookie. Add it to an array or something so i can retrieve it later.

 

Then on the main page, i want to retrieve the list of the last 5 $articleID visited and display a list of the ID

 

How could i do that ?

 

thanks!

If you're looking to retrieve the article IDs as the visitor is looking around the website, you could consider using a PHP session:

If you're looking to retrieve those article IDs after the visitor leaves the website and comes back a couple days later, for example, you could consider cookies:

Yeah i would need cookies since i want to track even if the visitor leave the website.

 

So i have an $articleid on each pages, how could i put it in an array or something each time a page is visited, and then retrieve the list of $articleid ?

 

I have really no experience with cookies, i dont know how to do that
