Session Shopping Cart

[mister_t101]

Is there a way to create a shopping cart by just using sessions, not a database? I'm a newbie, and don't want to have to worry about managing a MySQL database at this point. I don't need to for this project, anyway. I have my "shopping list" in an array, and can't figure out how to manage the cart (delete items, etc). If anyone knows of any tutorials or howtos, I'd be grateful.

Well, if you've got your shopping stuff in an array, just copy it over to the $_SESSION array.

Be sure to call [man]session_start/man; on each page that you want the session available in.

Removing items is tricky. Unfortunately there isn't an remove_key() function in PHP to remove just one array item completey. So the best you could do is set it to null.
