Sessions and Classes

What is the proper way to transfer class properties through-out my pages... let's say i have a ShoppingCart Class and i have methods like addToCart(id, qty) and deleteFromCart(id) also i have properties like CartItems("id" => array(), "qty"=> array()) this is what i do... //when the user enters my site, i do some... ------------- if (!session_is_registered("myCart")){ $myCart = new ShoppingCart(); .... (some other stuffs...) session_register("myCart"); } else { $myCart = new ShoppingCart(); } -------------- if the object in the session is not present i would create an instance and then register it to the session. else if it is present, i would just reconstruct it... because if i don't, even though it is in the sessions, the properties and methods are not constructed (no handler, i don't know how to call it). my code works, but is there any other way to do this, because i think it's kinda slow.... another question, is it ok to have a database-driven shopping cart? i make use of the database to as the actual cart holder? i need your opinions on these.... thanks!
