Re: Shopping Carts

hi Brandon, we use php's session handing functions to set cookies, they are obviously hashed, etc before the values are sent. as part of the authentication system, we check to see that the user's client matches the last access with that session id, if not, we request a sign in. if you're not talking about authenticated pages, (which you probably aren't for a basic shopping cart app), we handle all of that stuff transparently. _alex -- Alex Black, Head Monkey enigma@turingstudio.com The Turing Studio, Inc. http://www.turingstudio.com vox+510.666.0074 fax+510.666.0093 Saul Zaentz Film Center 2600 Tenth St Suite 433 Berkeley, CA 94710-2522 > From: brandon@webintellects.com (Brandon Orther) > Newsgroups: php.general > Date: 10 Jan 2001 08:12:07 -0800 > Subject: [PHP] Shopping Carts > > Hello, > > I am making a shopping cart.
