RE: [PHP] shopping cart and login system
Actually you can do it the way you suggest. I'm in the process of doing it also. I have yet to test the system but it should work provided that you follow the PayPal system, I already have my cart working so I think I just need another form like this one with the PHP variables as carried from my previous cart session. Should be easy by the looks of it.

RE: [PHP] shopping cart and login system
yes i know about that but then the whole basket/cart system is out of your hands i prefer to send the total with the products and quantities or can you not do that ? if not i guess adding the individual items to their basket is the only way the IPN system is confusing aswell :| -Original Message- From: Jeff Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2003 1:31 PM To: olinux Cc: electroteque; Php-General Subject: Re: [PHP] shopping cart and login system On Jun 14, 2003, olinux claimed that: |hi | |--- electroteque [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | hi there , i am about to build a shopping cart which | will interact with a | paypal payment system , the cart will use sessions | to store the items and | basket information before checking out and posting | to the paypal form , what | i'd like to know is would the cart require a login | system to track users and | to prevent ppl from making dodgy orders , | |if pure simplicity is a goal, i dont think you need a |login for customers. who cares if they add items and |then dont purchase. obviously they would not be able |to log in again to see the previous orders or current |order status but you could always implement later.
