Basket refresh

[robgood]

Hi, i wondered if some body knows how to retain the session ($_SESSION['addon']) for my shopping basket, i lose it when i navigate to another page or  refresh the page.  The $_SESSION['cart'] is fine.  Thanks in advance for your time and help!

 

here is the header code:

 

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['cart']))
{
$_SESSION['cart'] = array();
}
if (!isset($_SESSION['addon']) || !is_array($_SESSION['addon']))
{
$_SESSION['addon'] = array();
}

if (isset($_POST['bid']))
{
$_SESSION['cart'][] = $_POST['bid'];

$addonarrays = array();

if (isset($_POST['addon']) && is_array($_POST['addon'])) 
{
      $addonarrays = $_POST['addon'];
}  

foreach($addonarrays as $addonarray)
{
$_SESSION['addon'][] = $addonarray;
}

header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?' . SID);
exit();
}
if (isset($_GET['empty']))
{
unset($_SESSION['cart']);
unset($_SESSION['addon']);
header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?' . SID);
exit();
}

and here is the form that submits the data if it helps

 

<form action="basket.php" method="post">


			 <?php 
				$addon = @mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT id, refnum, name FROM addon, addonsubmenucat WHERE id=addonid AND catid=2 LIMIT 0, 4");
				while ($addons = mysql_fetch_array($addon))
				{
					$addonid = $addons['id'];
					$addonname = $addons['name'];
					$addonrefnum = $addons['refnum'];

					echo "<label>$addonname</label><input type='checkbox' name='addon[]' value='$addonid'>\n";

				}
			 ?> 

			 <?php 
				$addon = @mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT id, refnum FROM addon, addonsubmenucat WHERE id=addonid AND catid=2 LIMIT 0, 4");
				while ($addons = mysql_fetch_array($addon))
				{
					$addonrefnum = $addons['refnum'];

					echo "<td align='center'><img src='thumbnailpictures/$addonrefnum.gif'>\n";
				}
			 ?> 

			<input type="hidden" name="bid" value="<?php echo "$id" ;?>" />
			<input type="submit" id="buybutton" value="Add to basket" />

 

thanks

Strange, as it works on my local machine.  The addons stay in the basket where as on remote version they disappear when the page is refreshed or you navigate away from basket page and then back to it.

 

Really racking my brains.  anymore ideas ???
