ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I suggest that you use opensource cart such as opencart. Nonetheless, you would have to learn some php to get around it. I suggest you check this tutorial out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptor30506090 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 here is one im stuck on if(isset($_GET['add'])){ $cart = 'cart_'; if(isset($_SESSION[$cart . (int)$_GET['add']])){ $_SESSION[$cart . (int)$_GET['add']] ++; }else{ $_SESSION[$cart . (int)$_GET['add']] = '1'; } is this the ideal way to do session check and how do i stop it from adding to cart on the refresh many thanks Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porl123 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 What you could do is add a sort of captcha to the link. A random string of characters that will be kept in a session and regenerated every page load. That way people will be able to add more than one of the same item and it won't re-add an item if you reload the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porl123 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Or, a much simpler way could be to called header("Location: shopping.php"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porl123 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well I'd probably be tempted to do something like this: http://pastebin.com/dfEMgbWR Someone correct me if that's not a very good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor30506090 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 mmm that is what i was just playing around with but if they press add to cart again then it would be relisted is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porl123 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah, the random string of characters is generated on the first visit to the page, then it's regenerated every time the user adds an item to the basket. If they're attempted to use the code from the previous page load the add will fail. However the links will use the new code that's saved to the session.
