That's a pretty broad question. There are many ways to do this, but I
wouldn't try setting temporary variables such as by using cookies or session
vars to store that info.
I use a shopping cart table to store the items. Once the order is complete,
I move the items to a line items table. If anyone bails out of their
shopping cart session, I'll know because there will be an old shopping cart
session (previous to today).

product goes into an array (Price, id, desrctiption, quantity). whats a
