[PHP] shopping cart question
The way I see it, there are three options for maintaining state in php. I've already taken the route of keeping a random session id and putting it into a database to track a user/cart. So the only variable i need to track is the session id. The three options I know of then are: 1. Putting the session id in the url 2. Putting the session id into a cookie 3. Putting the session id into a hidden input type and have every button be a form Option 3 sucks asthetically and coding wise. Option 1 is somewhat ugly because now you have a big ole session id in your url (plus I don't think search engines like these). Also, with option 1 you need to have a type line in every href which is a pain in the ass. Option 2 is great, if the user uses cookies, if not, you cannot track the user at all. Anyone have the perfect solution? Thanks. Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Or that your email client doesn't support the image type. Hotmail and yahoo probably take some liberties and try things out to get the email to work properly, where "pine" or a basic email client like that won't.

[PHP] header generation problem
I'm trying to create a single dynamic header for a wide range of web pages which I'll just include as I need it. There are a few things that change per web page in the header, but I've settled all the issues except a good way of how to modify a single image that changes based on the web page being displayed. For example: I'm displaying index.php, which includes 'header.php', the variable $wpid indicates that the current web page is index.php. Now index.php needs to display: (changing index_off.gif to index_on.gif) index_on.gif anotherpage_off.gif yetanotherpage_off.gif (the tricky part is that each image will change to on depending on what page is being displayed) I really haven't come up with an adequate solution. Ideas? Thanks. Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well this is a solution I thought of, but then aren't you stuck doing
this for every image that can change? (like 20 of them in my case?) I
didn't think there was a better way, I was just hoping there was.

[PHP] storing tables into memory (that won't deconstruct after every page)
I have a rather large hash table (consisting of about 1000 different key/value combinations) that I want to use on every web page. This table will rarely be updated, but I will need to update it time to time. How do I do this *efficient* in php? I assume include "table.php" won't stick it (semi)permenantly into memory. Any help would be great, thanks. Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
