Php problems!

[mulesy]

Hi,

Im finding php really hard to use and was hoping some one would help me on a few problems.

Ive designed a website a dvd website for a project i had to do
the website it self is completed. i have a buy button after each item but i want it to work out how much the item is and add to it to a sort of cart i aint a clue how to start could anyone help me?

When that one item is ready to buy i want it to confirm as well so it takes it out of a database thats is gonna be a pain as well!

Can anyone help!!

with thanks
Jason

The most simple approach is to use an array to store items added to the a cart. You can attach the array to a users session.

$ary_strCartItems = Array(); // Init array
session_start(); // Start session and load data if session exists
if(!session_is_registered('cart')) session_register('cart');
if(isset($_SESSION['cart'])) $ary_strCartItems = $_SESSION['cart']; // Fill cart array if exists.

When someone clicks a link to add to the cart.

// Use code above plus...
$ary_strCartItems[] = 'Shirt'; // Append an item to the cart
$_SESSION['cart'] = $ary_strCartItems;
