编写第一个php购物车 - 需要建议

Question

I'm a php noob attempting my first shopping cart. I intend to use paypal checkout when the cart is ready. I'm having fun playing with this but need assistance.

Here is what I got so far: futurekode.com/uikits/store.php

I'm using form post to send the quantities to the cart.php page.

My question is how do I populate the table on the cart.php page with all the info like product name and price? Do I need to setup a database or could I use hidden inputs?

Any advice and sample code is appreciated

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Database will be the preference, for persistence, but you can use a session which will be much better than hidden inputs.
