Hi. Thanks for your reply. I have extracted a portion of the php.ini file on the session variable. I do not know what to change on the "session.save_path = /tmp"
variable. I need some help here.

...
; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
; As of PHP 4.0.1, you can define the path as:
; session.save_path = "N;/path"
; where N is an integer. Instead of storing all the session files in
; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and
; store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you
; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is
; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.
; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
; You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose.
; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to
; use subdirectories for session storage
session.save_path = /tmp

; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1
...

Okay, do you have a windows machine, or a unix/linux machine? If windows, then you'll use a windows path (e.g. c:\temp). If linux, you'll use a unix-style path (e.g. /tmp).

This directory is where PHP will store all the active session data, so you need to make sure the directory you specify exists and that PHP has access to read and write files in that directory.


Take care,

Hi, Nikolai. Thanks for your help. I've got the PHP script running. By the way, I have some questions about the code you've published here.

 $_SESSION['basket'][] = array('id' => $id,
                                  'price' => $price,
                                  'name' => $name);

What does the "=>" symbol mean?

Regards,
Major

=> is an operator that establishes the association between an array key (a.k.a. index) and a value.

For more info:
  http://www.php.net/types.array
  http://www.php.net/function.array


You also see this operator in the foreach() construct:

foreach ($my_array as $key => $value)
{
   ...
}


Take care,
