The script TrailScout is a Site Navigation script (navigation tree / directory structure).
A cookie-based PHP script that displays a path of hyperlinks to previously visited pages on a website.
For example "Vacilando.Net > Writing > PHP Scripts > TrailScout" (see at the authors website above).
It is also konwn as "cookie crumb trail". None of the similar programs Ive found aorund the Web was good enough, so I decided to write my own. The path is stored in a cookie for the duration of one session (= until you close all your browser windows). For each new viisted page, the title (fetched automatically from between your <TITLE></TITLE> tags) and the url (complete with parameters) is stored in that session variable. If user visits a page that s/he has seen before, the trail of links is reduced and that page again becomes the last one in a row.
There is a variable that can be used to limit the max number of links to be stored (this is useful for large sties where trails tend to be too long).
