Don't put anything you *NEED* to be correct/accurate in type="hidden" The web surfer can *CHANGE* that in about 5 seconds and send whatever they want. All your prices, all you shipping costs, all the weights, etc had better be in your PHP source code, as arrays, I guess... You'd really be better off just using a database with an existing cart. The amount of code you'll have to write to do this correctly is insane. > They have three products (it may rise to 5) and everything will be > hardcoded as there are no size or color variations.
