texte = I need to show an alphabetically sorted cart. Therefore I have to put the products into a separate db to display them sorted on the show cart-page. And I have to delete outdated carts regulary from this db. There are no special formulas used, no tax or shipping rates. So I could write everything into this db instead of using the built-in cart. I wonder which advantages the cart has in this situation - am I not better off using the db at any time instead of duplicating cart information? Writing to a cart does not seem to be faster than writing to a standard db...Peter __________________________________________ Peter Ostry - po@ostry.com - www.ostry.com Ostry & Partner - Ostry Internet Solutions Auhofstrasse 29 A-1130 Vienna Austria fon ++43-1-8777454 fax ++43-1-8777454-21 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
