Re: Re: Creating an OO Shopping Cart

You don't need the unserialize(), it's done internally by the session_start(). All the things you put inside $_SESSION, except for resources, will be rebuilt when the session is regenerated. This way you don't need to worry about serializing. Read the manual section about sessions. 2006/4/21, Steve <email.weblists@gmail.com>: > > Hi > > Thanks for all your help so far. > > I've combined all your thoughts, and from what I understand, for every > page I have that interacts with the cart, I need to have something like > the following code. > > So basically, on every page, be it a page that displays the contents of > the cart, the checkout, or catalog pages, at the top of the code I > always need to check if files are being added, deleted or changed qty. > Is this correct? > > This is my biggest concern.
