If it's a shopping cart filled with Pianos, it's going to be heavy anyway. :-) From my perspective, there's nothing wrong with (and a lot right with) storing an order number in a database (orders table) with all the item numbers that are associated/ordered with that order. He does not have to repeat all the data associated with each item purchased (i.e., name, price, shipping, etc.). It's just the order number with the purchased item numbers. At some point, he has to pull the order together, show the user what they are buying, take payment for the items, and fulfill the order. You certainly don't need a collection of arrays containing all the bits and pieces of the order for you to figure out where everything is and assemble the transaction. The process is *much* simpler to process as an order in a database -- my opinion. Cheers, tedd As for how to do it, I'd look through the arrays you have and use associative arrays (where the order number is the key of the array element) and set the price if the array element is just being set (use the isset() function for this) and increment it if it already exists.

Please send an example of what you are trying to do. If you just want
to put each item in the array on a single line in a csv file, this
will do it:
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
foreach ($arr as $line) {
fputcsv($fp, $line);
}
fclose($fp);
but from your description, that doesn't sound like what you are
looking for. If you send a sample line, we can help you better.

[PHP] Creating single row for multiple items.
My array looks very similar to this. I need to create a single row for the items that have the same order number for CSV export. I'd prefer to do this PHP wise instead of SQL.
