Im trying to make an online shopping basket in PHP and MySQL. The user logs in using their email address and a password and that is when the session starts.
I have no idea how to code it and ive been looking for decent examples over the web without much luck.
What extra tables would i need in the database?
Can anyone help?

to be honest mate your asking a bit much for someone to just write it all down for you.....there's a fair bit involved in what you've mentioned. If you then want to chuck a shopping cart facility into it aswell then you're talking quite a few mans hours to sit and do it all.
As Joff said - buy a PHP and MySQL book and teach yourself. Thats what i did. Took me about 2 weeks to grasp the majority of it and now I can do all you've mentioned above without any problems...

There's all sorts of security things to be aware of as well, probably best using an out-of-the-box one as it will be more mature in this respect.

Serves them right.
Nothing worse than signing up to a service or a forum with the intention to troll, only to forget your username.
When services become over-subscribed, it can take a few attempts to get the username you're after. Look how many people have a hotmail account with "2000, 80, 81, 82, etc" in them.

Not really.
If you think about how it works its not THAT hard.
Use an array in the session to hold the amount/product ID and go from there.
If I can do it, anyone can

But then he's got to write code to recurse through the array when item quantities are updated or when whole "rows" are deleted.
Does PHP have an equivalent to the Dictionary object in ASP/VBScript?
