Help creating an Recent View Item

[smallc28]

Hello 

 

I'm trying to create an recent view item for a mock up website of mine using Php & MySQL 

 

for an example if a customer viewed

product A  an they were to click on product B in the recent view section they would see product A 

 

thanks in advance

Do you have a question?

Yes Actually, How would I go about starting off with this Session ?

You'll could add product A to the $_SESSION, for now we'll call this var $_SESSION['recently_viewed'].

 

So when the user is viewing a product, add its data to this variable.

$_SESSION['recently_viewed'] = <products data here>

To display recently viewed item you'd do something like

if(isset($_SESSION['recently_vieweded']))
{
   // display recently viewed item data here
}
