Many thanks, Chris.
I have one additional question about this shopping cart project. I need
to make a submit button for the purpose of removing an item from the
shopping cart.
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Remove" class="place_order"/>
What I am struggling with is to find an effective method for passing the
product serial number (auto_increment in the table it is stored in) so I
know which product the user is removing from their purchase. Then I will
just unset the session variable that matches.
What are your suggestion(s)?
Thank you your help with my original question Chris.
