As it turns out, just today I'm working on a shopping cart! It's far from finished and rather specific for my needs, no payment or anything, people just press "add to cart" in a list of products and can check their cart in another view. There they get an ordernumber and the account number and get the delivery when money is transferred via regular bank transfer.
In general I added an addtocart($id) function to my products_controller, which stores info on the product with id $id from the database in a Cookie (which lasts for an hour), and increments a counter so you can keep adding products. An added view called viewcart gets all the products-info out of the cart (Cookie) with a for-loop and displays it. From that view people can send the list via e-mail to me and get payment info, This screen also holds a "clear Cart" button that destroys the cookie. I plan to add the orders to my database too for reference at a later date. I know you're new and this probably makes no sense now, but hopefully at a later state it can help. Anybody else reading this, is this a good way of going about is, or are there better ideas?
