Thanks Psycho, I haven't been able to get back to this for four days (yikes), but I'll start on it today. Cheers, Rick

Hello scootstah and cyberRobot, Thank you for the replies! My service provider has been changing out their equipment and I haven't had access for several days. I may be overwriting the session somehow, didn't even occur to me to look into that and I'm not generating any errors at all. When I have a problem this messed up, it's ussually a matter of having the wrong approach, so that's why I didn't post any code. Is there a type of functionality that either of you prefer to use in this kind of situation? Thanks again! Cheers, Rick

Hello All, I'm attempting to create functionality that allows users to update a sales figure by: adding one of two ad-ons (or both) and / or subtracting a promotional discount if one applies. I'm setting both of my ad-on variables, as well as the discount to zero, then I'm using plain PHP to process the math. When I first arrive on the page, from an editing page, the correct figure is displayed at the bottom of the form ($9.99), but when I click on the recalculate button (form action=”THIS_PAGE”) the base price disappears and the total at the bottom becomes “$0.” These are $_SESSION variables, so it seems to me that they should remain persistent. I've been looking at JavaScript DOM Storage shopping carts, and the use of multidimensional arrays such as $_SESSION['cart'] to solve this problem. It seems to me that this should be very straightforward, but perhaps I'm approaching this incorrectly. I would like to get input on the best approach to this problem – don't even want to bother anyone with code at this point. Do any of you have a very reliable approach or model to suggest? Thanks a bunch in advance. Cheers, Rick
