Add the items to a temporary database ?

Sessions ?

Cookies ?

Carrier Pigeon ?

Any of the first three may help you...

Actually, if you're from the Bergen Linux User Group, you might try the fourth option as well.

I'd recommend sessions for carts though. I imagine most folks do it that way; it is often recommended.

Hey, OP try this:

var_dump($_COOKIE);

😉

are you storing your selections in a database to any extent...if you are just toss the session var. (i use those over cookies) when you insert your order information. then when you get to your cart page do query from your data base for that session var.

not fun without a database.
