add to Favorites

[jkkenzie]

Hi!

I would like to add a product id to the browsing session of a web visitor, Just like add to cat. Using a cookie to hold favorites products id  and when they want to view their favorites, I just use the ids to get records using MYSQL query.

 

Any easy shortcuts? Or where to start?

 

Thanks in advance.

are you using any system like OScommerce or joomla ?else iss this a custum system your making?

for custom systems :-

 

You have to store values in a array as a cookie and then access it from php when in need.

Its not from any system, I just want a custom way , simply to include to my application.

 

Using a cookie as you suggest.

 

thanks

try this out

 

<?php

 

// SETTING UP THE COOKIE WITH YOUR VALUES

$val1 = "pronum";

$val2 = "session";

 

 

setcookie("cookie[one]", $val1);

setcookie("cookie[two]", $val2);

 

// GETTING THE COOKIE VALUE WHEN YOU WANT

 

if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])) {

 

  $cookieval = $_COOKIE['cookie'];

 

  print $cookieval['one'];

  echo "<br>";

  print $cookieval['two'];

 

}

 

 

?>
