Hello,

So I am looking to create a simple shopping cart that is only able to be viewed before checkout. I was thinking of using a $_SESSION variable to do this like $_SESSION['shoppingCart] = array(); then adding each item to the shopping cart array. Now my question is this: if I were to do it this way would each persons session variable be unique to themselves (there is no login required for this)?

Thanks in advance!

Only until they log out or close the browser. You would need to store it in a database if it needed to be permanently stored. I advise against using Cookies, if that was your alternative.

By logout you mean leave the site, close the browser, etc? Because there is no user login so I am just curious to know if everyone that is on the site will be using the same session variable or if it is unique to each persons own browser/browsing session. I do not need to store the information permanently but just for the time the user is at the site.

Thank you for the quick response.

Yes, sry i edited my post to say or browser. The session would be the best option, it will be unique to each browser and computer.
