Shopping Cart script

i want to submit values from one web page to another web page

this is a shopping cart program,

a user selects items he/she wishes by checking the checkboxes provided.

then all these should go on to a shopping cart which is in another page.

and my web page consist of several pages, where the user can select alot of products from each page.

 

So what is your question?

 

Why don't you go ahead and use sessions for this, save the data into a temporary session so that it can be loaded into the cart page. This way after a certain period of time if they don't make the purchase it will clear the session.

 

That's all very well but if they're using a specialised piece of software for their ecommerce needs then there may be more to the problem than just creating some sessions.

If you read their post they haven't actually asked anything lol

 

For shopping cart, session is the best option but if you are not feeling comfortable with session then just use database.

 

Agree,
every shopping cart use session or cookies for saving products and other customers information.
me myself prefer use session..

 

Well from what they have said it sounds very much like they are looking for how to create a way to carry the variables between the pages and my answer covers the basics of what they asked.

 

you can directly choose OScommerce scripts. it's a php script.

 

I would also vouch for osCommerce. While there are a lot of things I would do differently within the code the contributions section on their website makes it very worthwhile for a scalable ecommerce website.

 

If you dont want to use sessions than you can manage data in temporary table and afer that you can restore data
from temporary tables to main tables. But personally i will suggest to use sessions.
