php session variables?

[Brian W]

I would like to create a website that offers users a list of items which they have the option to add to theyre 'wish list' to view at a later time. I was thinking of using sessions to do this, but have become confused at how to store the items in a session and then make them available in 'view wish list' with a link to the item in it? Can anyone give me some advice as to how i could achieve this or offer an alternative way of designing the site? i have only started learning PHP so am still quite a novice, any help is appreciated
