Please provide an example site with a cart system you like, and I can tell you what needs to be done. Right now it appears you are really confused about the process. Please DO NOT write your own. Below is one example of how complicated things get: Cart has two items. One is available for shipment today, one is backordered. What credit card transactions are you supposed to process and when? If you don't know the answer to that, you have no business rolling you own. -John Campbell _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
