Hi there,

Thanks for that, I must not have asked the question right, as there
are lots of site where you can click a button or link to add the
current page/record/article to "your watchlist" ie a list of items you
are interested enough in to tag as important.

OK, now I understand.
You could make this either cookie or session driven; personally I'd make
it session driven (less traffic on the 'net). If you want to give them
the ability to save them across sessions, then I'd suggest a database.
No tutorials I know of - just store in and read from the $_SESSION
superglobal as necessary. And no scripts - something like that would be
quite site specific. But also very easy to write.
