Great offers not only for geeks!
In many webshops the customer has to login/register after the product selection is done. With the db_cart class it's possible to handle shopping carts with and without a customer ID.
Important
If you don't want to use a customer ID you need to leave the property in the constructor empty (or use a zero):
$object = new db_cart();
or if you don't know if a customer is logged in use the code like:
if (empty($customer)) $customer = 0;
$object = new db_cart($cutomer);

in this case the default value "0" (zero) is used...

I try to describe my problem in detail,
becouse it doesnot work me.
I have two pages : 1 - site with products and shown the total value of the shopping cart, 2 - page with the shopping cart.
When I add in page 1 things to the cart, the total value shows good,
bud in the 2nd page is nothing in the basket.
In page 1 I have: $myCart = new db_cart(0);
In page 2 I have: $myCheckout = new db_cart(0);
But it still doesnot work.
In your example files you have there :
$_SESSION['custom_num'] = $cust->cust_no;
$_SESSION['email'] = $cust->email;(I dont have it there, is that required ?)
Shall i have in all pages the same db cart object ?
many thanks for your help here
Hi,
the two session variables are an example if you have some other customer database.
please post the PHP code from your second page.
Hi, I removed your code since it doesn't show something new :)
check the sessions, place this code on the top of both pages
print_r($_SESSION)
and compare the result (the order id) and check also the database records

page 1: Array ( [order_id] => 69 )
page 2: Array ( [order_id] => 69 )
Its same, but I dont know what could it be ?
do you have any idea ?
PS: When I use db_cart(0) - is it possible to do shopping by more than one customers in the same time ?
The "Customer id" (zero) is only used for a check, the important thing is the "Order Id", while there are more than one "unknown" customers on your site the "Order id" is used to separate the order rows.
I think there is something wrong with the sessions, do you have the test application on some public web server?

I found out tha during the shopping I have no record in table db_cart_orders.
Only in db_cart_rows. I think this could be the problem.
Becouse there are SQL querys WHERE .... and the result of COUNT * for these querys is 0.
In this moment I dont have it on public server :(
