Basic sessions! Help!

[lys602]

Hey, im fairly new to php and only know the basics! anyway ive just been introduced to sessions and am looking to write a script where:

1. A user can pick something from a list
2. It get stored in a session
3. Then get viewed on another page
4. Then user can go back to the original page and pick another item
5. That get stored and so on
6. Then have the option to delete from their choices

The idea is kind of a simple shopping basket but nothing in detail.

I got it working using the serialize and unserialize functions but I dont think this is the best way as I cant get it so items can be deleted from the choices.

any ideas? where do I need to start?

Cheers :queasy:

A good place to start would be the manual's chapter on [man]sessions[/man].

Five second outline: on each page using sessions start with

session_start();

To put something into a session variable write

$_SESSION['variable'] = $something;

To get it out again on a later page:

$something = $_SESSION['variable'];
