Session based Shopping Cart Issues

[Yrogerg]

I'm trying to make a simple shopping cart using Session variables. However, I for each item, I need to store 3 varaibles: quantity, catID, item. (The DB is so big I had to break everything into different tables so I need to know which table aka catID to query upon checkout).

Here's what I've got so far:

// addToCat.php?catID=11&item=5


session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");

include "includes/connect.php";

if(!$_SESSION['cart'])
	$_SESSION['cart'] = array();

$_SESSION['cart'][] = $catID;
$_SESSION['cart'][$catID][] = $item;


echo $_SESSION['cart']."<br>";

My question is... am I doing anything right here? How do I output all the info saved in the Session variable array "cart"???

Thanks.

just treat the session as a regular array.

i'm not good with arrays, but something like this might help.

foreach($SESSION['cart'] as $catID => $value) {
print "\$SESSION[$catID] => $value.\n";
}
