Hi,

 

1. Create a session on every page you want to track.

2. You need to first grab the current page the user is on .. using something like: $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

3. You need to add the current page to the session array with each page the user lands on.

4. Now that you have the pages visited in session, you can display them back to the user.

 

The code:

 

<?php
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['pages'] = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; // store session data
echo "Pages Visited = ". $_SESSION['pages']; //display pages visited
?>

 

I did not test this - so there maybe typos.

Hi,

 

If you store multiple pieces of information in a PHP session, you need to use a loop to display them all:

 

<?php

session_start();

// loop through the session with foreach
foreach($_SESSION as $key=>$value)
   {
   // print out the values stored in session
   echo 'The value of $_SESSION['."'".$key."'".'] is '."'".$value."'".' <br />';
   }
?> 

 

And on each page, you would use the session to store the user visit to the page. I just looked at the code I used in my first answer and there is an error ... I wrote:

 

session_start();
$_SESSION['pages'] = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; // store session data
echo "Pages Visited = ". $_SESSION['pages']; //display pages visited
?>

 

You need to give each session entry it's own key:

 

session_start();
$_SESSION['$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]'] = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; // store session data
echo "Pages Visited = ". $_SESSION['pages']; //display pages visited
?>

 

.. Sorry about that, sometimes I make silly mistakes when writing quickly and I also mix things up from language to language.
