you also asked for a class example, seeing as your asking for this I don't
think your ready for the class example...
$_SESSION['mycart'] = array();
$_SESSION['mycart'][] = array('Product 1', 5.99);
$_SESSION['mycart'][] = array('Product 2', 4.99);
$_SESSION['mycart'][] = array('Product 3', 7.99);
print_r($_SESSION['mycart']);

this works due to the superglobal $_SESSION; in order to use the $_SESSION
var (accessable everywhere without the use of global keyword) you must
first call session_start(), which in turn must be called before any output
is sent to the browser.
a quote from the following URL: (read it)
http://nl2.php.net/session
"
As of PHP 4.1.0, $_SESSION is available as a global variable just like $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST and so on. Unlike
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS, $_SESSION is always global. Therefore, you do not need to use the global keyword for $_SESSION.
Please note that this documentation has been changed to use $_SESSION everywhere. You can substitute $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
for $_SESSION, if you prefer the former. Also note that you must start your session using session_start() before use of
$_SESSION becomes available.

I need to convert the shopping cart to PHP but I'm unsure of how to store the cart's contents using PHP. Should I create a multi-dimensional array and store it a session variable? I currently store an object (called Basket ;-) in the Session (for one of my projects) which is in effect the same thing - works great - just remember that if you have objects stored in your session then you must include the class definitions _before_ you start the session. Any good tutorials/examples on creating shopping cart apps using PHP? if your a list member then you should have received an email from Richard Lynch - he posted a link to a page he setup that lists pro/cons for LOTS of commerce apps. that would be a good place to start looking!
