Heh -- this book, chapter 12, points you in the right direction.

If you're using a database, you'd use the session information to track the user, put all the information in the database and if they delete things, delete them. You can also use a login to make it easier for them (and you) to hold the data.

Sessions are better, but you can also use cookies to keep things in their cart. Using sessions, you need an id -- session id. Then you can track things.

Anyway, chapter 12 explains it a helluva lot better than I can.

Thanks Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne,

But I have read a few similiar books on PHP from cover to cover, I was just hopping for a push in the right direction on this I guess.

Like should I send each slection to an array on the cart page and is there a need to store the selctions temporarialy to a flat file, that kind of stuff...I think with a bit of a shove I will be able get it done. I just don't want to start off for GO in the wrong direction.
