texte = Hello, Trying to do a 'last xx items viewed' on a sidebar on my site. I want to sort them in proper order based on which was viewed most recently. To this end, I am setting 5 cookies named LastView1 through LastView5. I then want to store the contents of the cookies in a table. The cookies have multiple values seperated by a pipe | hence the listwords below. The code below works, but I am thinking the code is overly complex for what I am doing. This is my first time using tables so I may be mising something obvious as to adding multiple rows of data. Haven't tried it yet, but would moving the table open/close to be outside of the loop do the trick (instead of having the multiple rows of the field data and dropping the extra [index] from the beginning of the field)?
