Hi everyone. I have just created a simple shopping cart and wanted to get some thoughts on my approach to it.
I create a structure of lists which is stored in the session scope. 1. cart.quantities 2. cart.prices 3. cart.products Basically every time I (add/remove/changeqty) a product, I go through and make changes to the three lists: Example: products list (holds product IDs) 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 price list (hold price for sinlge product) 5.99, 6.45, 2.50, 8.99 quantity (holds quantity of product added) 2, 4, 1, 1 So basically everytime I perform an operation, I use ListFind to get the position in the list of the product whose ID is passed into the page. Using that location of the product in the list, I just perform simple insertions, deletions, and updates using the location. Does anyone see any downsides to this method? I build another cart using arrays, and the execution times for the templates were considerably longer. Hit me back with some pros and cons or comments. Thanks, Mike ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
