PHP Cookies

    A mate is a designer and runs a large ecommerce site in the UK, he ask me how via php it would be possible to record the last 5 pages that a customer has visited.

    Does anyone know where I can start with this ?

    I can add soemthing like

    <?php
    setcookie("Product", <ProductID><ProductName>, time()+60*60*24*30);
    ?>

    on each unique page , but from the looks of the help file this will only store the last page , as it will overwrite the cookie, ideally I want one cookie storing all product id's and names , whcih I can then use to populate a drop down.

    Why neccessarily cookies?
    Surely an array in session would be better, wherein if count($_SESSION)>5 you pop?

    Sounds good to me , In was going with cookies , so it would last linger than a session , but a session would work well.

    - Havent coded PHP for ages, what little I knew I have forgotten
