没有SQL的简单PHP购物车

Question

I'm trying to create a simple PHP shopping cart with prices, products, registration, and a checkout area. I've searched Google for tutorials but all of them incorporate SQL which is not within my skill set yet. Anyone have any examples or other tutorial resources you could refer to a PHP novice?

Again just trying to create simple PHP shopping cart (no SQL) using arrays for products, functions for various program tasks, form validation, cookies/sessions for cart continuity, template files, and confirmation/receipt emails.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Quick googling found: http://www.webforcecart.com/

In most basic shopping cart examples the SQL could probably be converted into arrays kept in global or session variables. Probably not the best way to make an actual shopping cart, but might be worth it for fun?

I think a basic cart to see if you can have a cart and add/remove products it might be ok, but once you start wanting user registration/adding/editing/removing products etc., using a database will help make life easier.
