holding checklist value in multiple pages

[noussh]

Hello Everyone!!,

I am working on a sitehttp://www.modernantiquesco.com/candleHolders/01.php
where users should be able to choose the products from the product catelogue. Once they finish choosing products, they will be taken to a "Order Form" where they
will see all the products they have chosen (they can add quantity or delete some of the products they need from this page) and they will be fill in their contacts before they place the order. Do we need to use session for this?

I am newbie and generally new programming.....

Usually, for this purpose is using a cookie. All list of choosing products is saving as array in cookie.

If you want using a session, you can make the authorization for buyer, and you can use the ready decision, for examle http://phpauth.sourceforge.net/ or http://authclassed.sourceforge.net/

If you will use a session for storage data, the list of choosing products will be save as array in $_SESSION. This method a some increase the load of server. Therefore, the cookie is a more frequent decides
