Allow users to select the listings for print.

I making a site with realestate listings and I want to allow the user to select the listings that interest them, and then allow a page to be displayed with all of their selected listings on a that for printing. Someone in another forum suggested using session variables to store user selections.

So far in my small php experience, every time I have a user make a selection that has a value, it is contained in a form that is processed. But in this case there is no form being processed. There is just a display of all the results. If I use a checkbox in each of the listings, how would the entered value be processed? Or could I just make a regular button that somehow has an action to store the result as a session variable? Any thoughts are appreciated.

make a form with check boxes, then pass the form to another page, where it checks the $_POST[] array and displays the houses that were checked....

I apologize, but my lack of experience requires a more descriptive explanation. So your saying that each one of the listings will have a checkbox in a form. Each checkbox will have the value of let's say the listing ID. What is confusing me is that there isnt going to be a submit button as I am used to. (or is there?) How do the entered values (checkboxes) get stored with no submit button? The user will be looking through all the results and just select the checkbox in every listing that interests them. How would the values actually get submitted? You can check it out here.http://www.smartchoiceweb.com Thanks for the help.
