RE: [PHP-DB] Session Question
Graeme, What version of PHP? If you're using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[] to store your variables (if 4.0.6 or earlier) or $_SESSION[] (if later) you shouldn't use session_register(). Peter. -Original Message- From: Boa Constructor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 15 June 2003 3:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Session Question Greetings all, Now that my shopping cart is just about complete I've been working on the rest of the order process. I have got two pages before finally placing an order. The first page takes address details and the next page prints them all out with the contents of the shopping cart so the user can verify that they are correct. I have put an "Edit" button on it so that the user can go back and change address details. The problem is this. I am using sessions to store the address details and when the user clicks "Edit" the current details are printed out which is expected. When the user changes any of these details they aren't recorded in the session and so only the original values are recorded in the session and aren't overwritten or changed. I have got calls to session_register(); for each variable on the address details page and also on the confirmation page. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP-DB] Session Question
I would add each item's unique item id to an array and pass the array as the session variable. Then use serialize($array) and unserialze($array) to pass the array from script to script. You could then loop thru the array at the checkout and insert the vars into your database.

[PHP-DB] Session Question
Hi there everyone :-) I have a question about Session usage. I am passing data from 1 page to another via the toolbar (Forgot the method name, sorry :-) and then when the client clicks on "Add to shopping cart" it adds it into a session to store the data for checkout or to continue shopping. My question is this: When the client goes back and selects another item, it overrides the original in the session - how do I get sessions to be dynamic and assisn a different value for each shopping cart entry? And then how do I retrieve them? Thanks for your help, I have learnt so much from this group. Chris
