It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 60541
interpreted = N
texte = Paul, the best way to protect against this is to record purchased carts in a database and then to check against this database on every page. If a cart number has been purchased, simply redirect to the home page with no cart number or a new one. As for emptying shoppingcarts and orders folders.. yea, this should be done. I would do it by date instead of emptying them all every hour. This is because you don't want to empty a cart that is currently being used. How old the orderfile needs to be before it is deleted is up to you but I'd keep at least yesterdays cart just for the record... even if you never access it other than email. This is because, it could be just another backup of order record in the case that there is loss of orders.
