Re: [PHP] how to determine if shopping cart has been abandoned?

[Justin Patrin]

Of course, now you have to deal with putting inventory back on the shelf 
when the session expires....and you have no way of knowing when that 
would happen unless you're storing *something*.

Rather than storing the shopping cart in a DB, store the cart in the
session.  When the session dies, so does the cart.
When/if they choose to save it, it THEN gets ported into a database.


Aaahhhhh...! This makes sense.



Thanks,
Chris.
