SELECT shopping_cart.item_id, shopping_cart.subtotal, shopping_cart.quantity FROM shopping_cart, orders WHERE shopping_cart.order_id = orders.order_id AND orders.session_id = session_id() AND orders.customer_id = '$customer_id' i guess u could give it a try. just a simple 2 table join. i may not have the fields and order in place but try it....
