Hey,
I'm looking for little information from those who have coded their own shopping cart
apps. what would you say the best way to setup a cart would be? more specificly, the
method for adding items to the cart.
say the user is broswing around. when they entered the website a new session was
created. when they go to add an item, what is the best way store variables (such as
what they bought and quantity) in the session. i have read that it is possible to put
all of your session variables in a single associative array. however, i have not had
any luck doing this myself. Under such a method of an array, how would i store each
item (product id and quantity, possibly price as well) in the cart into the session.
obviously i don't expect anyone to write an entire app. i am comfortable starting the
session, and doing th db extraction and presentation. i just need to know how to store
a variable in a session (passed through post) and how to extract it when need be
(considering it is an array). Thanks a lot!
