Wishlist tutorial

[sgtpepper]

Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to create a simple wishlist?

I would like to create a wishlist that stores info in a DB.

So, when a user clicks on a link....it stores info hardcoded in the link string.

Ie: color=red?size=large etc...

Writing the whole project would take a while, but here's a few pointers...

Use the $_GET variable to get data from a query string. So if you had:

dbfetch.php?item=4&color=red&quantity=3

In dbfetch.php you'd have this somewhere up top:

$sql = "INSERT INTO tblWishlist VALUES( '";
if( isset($_GET['item']) && !empty($_GET['item']) )
{
   $sql .= $_GET['item'] . "', '";
}

if( isset($_GET['color']) && !empty($_GET['item']) )
{
   $sql .= $_GET['color'] . "', '";
}

if( isset($_GET['quantity']) && !empty($_GET['item']) )
{
   $sql .= $_GET['quantity'] . "')";
}

So at the end, you'd have a SQL string to execute built.
