Hello,

I'm trying to create a shopping cart in Akelos. I'm pretty much learning as I'm going so things are a hodgepodge of code from RoR tutorials and PHP tutorials.

The first thing I wanted to do was tie this cart to a session. If there exists a cart in this session, use it. If not create a new one. This is what I have so far:

In controller:

function findCart()
{
    if (isset($_SESSION['cart'])){
        $this->cart = unserialize($_SESSION['cart'];
    }
    else {
        $this->cart = new Cart();
    }
}

Does this make sense? If it doesn't please don't laugh :D I've been following this RoR tutorial and have been doing good. Now the tutorial is beginning to use alot of Ruby specific syntax and it's throwing me for a loop. So expect a few more posts from me.

Thanks
