Opinions on an Shopping Cart Method?

[Nonee]

Hello all-

I am trying to do a shopping cart using cookies currently. The
product I am tracking is a picture, and with each picture you can
order different sizes and styles. Well, I am fighting with the
cookies and yes it is working but there must be a better way. Any
opinions? CGI, PHP, ASP? I just need a way to hold the order (aka
use a cookie) but is a difficult parsing the cookie for the data for
the order, each order themselves, and then the quanity of each style /
size. See the problem? What do you guys think?

Thanks...

-Josh

if use use asp you can use session variables. php may have session
variables as well thou I am not sure.

Yes, PHP does have session variables, and they would work very nicely in
this situation.

Or if you're using a Perl CGI script, there is the CGI::Session module
that might come in handy.
