Or store the cart in the database, and just store a key in the session such as $_SESSION['cart_id'] > I am using PHP session but this variable is being passed in, as a > unique identifier for that session/cart. As a GET variable? Why would you do this? Cookies/sessions were invented to making shopping carts work. Your code to generate a session_id is pointless... ditch the session_id code and just call session_start() on every page. What do you think is wrong with the default session_id generation? -John C. _______________________________________________ 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
