Re: Appending data in Session
Thanks.
Amit's solution was what I was looking for. I do realize that by
separating product id into different fields might be beneficial, but
appending data into the same array looks more appealing to me.
Anyway, this actually pretty easy to tackle, I just never thought of
it like this. Heh.
Thanks alot for your help. Appreciate it.

- You need to do session read and array merge for this, like
$this->Session->write('products', am($this->Session-

array($this->data['Products']['id'])));

Also check if products are in session before doing array merge,

['id']));

Re: Appending data in Session
to add onto b logics, you can use the id as the key in an associative
array as the sessions use the period as it's delim:
writing:
$this->Session->write('product.'.$id, $name);
reading
$products = $this->Session->read('product);

Re: Appending data in Session
Additionally, if it were my app, I'd save the product name also so
that a list for the current cart can be easily displayed at any time.
So, instead of pushing an ID onto the array I'd first grab all of the
products from session, add a new array with both ID & name of latest
product, then both save the products array back to the session as well
as make it available to the view with set().
Just my $0.02

- You need to do session read and array merge for this, like
$this->Session->write('products', am($this->Session->read('products'),
array($this->data['Products']['id'])));
Also check if products are in session before doing array merge, like
if ($this->Session->check('products')) {
$this->Session->write('products', am($this->Session->read('products'),
array($this->data['Products']['id'])));
} else {
$this->Session->write('products', array($this->data['Products']['id']));
}
