PHP Shopping Basket

[gazalec]

Hi i was just wondering what would be the best way to achieve a shopping basket, i was wondering if setting up a temporary database table while they are logged in would be a good idea or simply have a table set aside for them and they can then process, save or cancel the items in the basket, i was just really wondering if there is any major issues i am overlooking or if there is a better way to do it

when i set up my basket... i find that the best, least tempermental way of doing it... is to use $_SESSION[cart][]=array(productid=>"",quantity=>"",...);
