Mike, I was in the same position a few years back, and instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, I just went with a commercial CF based solution. In my own scenario, I simply did not have the time or patience to program a shopping cart in CF, when I knew a "plug & play" solution already existed.
I understand you are in "practice mode" here, but when it's time for the "rubber to meet the road", I would highly recommend just using something commercial. Just my .02... for what it's worth.

I am trying to elarn how to create a simple E-commerce site (for practice purposes). I have no experience with this yet and could use some pointers. What is the est way to store information when the user wants to add something to their basket? I was thinking about using a structure of arrays, or a structure of lists... or just arrays.. im not really sure what is easiest to work with for a novice? Does anyone know some online examples with code that I could study from? Should the cart be stored as a session var? Any help would be appreciated.
