Question

In PHP, make a web page that uses a cookie to keep track of how many times a user has viewed the page. The first time a particular user looks at the page, it should print something like “Number of views: 1.” The second time the user looks at the page, it should print “Number of views: 2,” and so on. Now have your code prints out a special message on the 5th, 10th, and 15th times the user looks at the page.
