It all depends how you have your set up. Are all customers permanent or
are they temporary?
assign the customer a session id, or cookie depending on how you want to
store this, and then insert the
user in to the users table when they add an item to the basket, and add the
item to a basket table.
You may want if they are not permanent to write the order to a session
array, and when they check out then
write the contents to the order tables. you will need prodid, styleid, qty.
