session cart remove

[paolo]

Hi

I hope someone out there can help me.

Im developing a sessionbased shoppingcart. When adding something in
the cxart I do:
session_start();
$_SESSION["cart"][]=array("artnr" => $_GET["artnr"],
"nr" => $_GET["nr"],
"price" => $_GET["price"],
"colors" => $_GET["colors"]
);
It works fine. BUT, when I want to remove one of these element in the
cart: how should I proceed? I have read many post but dindnt find one
suitable to my case.

Thanks

Paolo

Maybe you could provide an index number for the array:

$_SESSION['cart_top']++;
$_SESSION["cart"][$_SESSION['cart_top']]=array(...);

unset($_SESSION['cart'][$some_index]);

to be able to get the correct value for $some_index, an idea is to have each
item in your store be assigned an ID from the database that they're in
(supposing you're using one). Then have $some_index be that ID, so that you
can remove the right item from the cart when you want to.

Yes, buit what do you do when you iterate?
Say that $_SESSION['cart_top'] has become 5.
Now you need to remove $_SESSION["cart"][3]
Then you do unset($_SESSION["cart"][3]) I guess?
What happens now? cart_top is still 5. So when you iterate
$_SESSION["cart"][3] will fail, doesnt it?

IS not the same problem with your solution?
I do like this now:
$_SESSION["counter"]==null ? $_SESSION["counter"]=0 :
$_SESSION["counter"]++;

$_SESSION["cart"][$_SESSION["counter"]]=array(
"artnr" => $_GET["nr"],
"price" => $_GET["price"],
"colors" => $_GET["colors"]
);

foreach($_SESSION["cart"] as $index){
...
}
