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.
