Re: Building a Shopping Cart

Simply, sessions. Look on php.net for some tutorials about sessions, that's what you're gonna need. You could do it simply by setting cookies in the users browser, but sessions work better. As I understand it, sessions also set a cookie in your browser, but only one which identifies the owner of the session. If the user had cookies disabled, then php would default to appending the session information to the url's (basically avoiding the problem). You'll probably find a lot of info on www.php.net about this though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Braynard" <mbraynard@atlantech.net> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 12:17 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Building a Shopping Cart > I'm trying to build a shopping cart and am unsure of how to track what each > visitor has purchased as they shop.
