Bit, > What does this cookie look like? eg. what=what inside the cookie file? All that the cookie needs to contain is a unique session number (to both identify the current connection as well as connect the entries in that database you mentioned with you). > Also, how does a site identify you before you sign in? There is no need to 1) actually sign in* 2) identify _you_ ** *which is only "needed" to track-and-profile you. ** see above :-| Its only when you want to the goods to be send to you you will need to provide them *some* kind of identifying data -- otherwise they will have no clue where to send it to :-) . Even the payment methoud could be anonymous (think gift cards). > If it's id'ing you by IP address - what happens if you log off your > internet connection, and somebody else logs on, and gets your IP? Nothing. The IP *PLUS* the unique value identify the shopper -- and that unique value gets discarded as soon as you drop the connection (and the PHP session is terminated). > Is there any way to prevent it? (short of forcing the user to sign in??) I suggest you read up on the above mentioned "PHP session". Regards, Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: <bit-naughty@hotmail.com> schreef in berichtnieuws d2223e3b-f44c-4ef7-b55a-94e012d85a95@googlegroups.com... I'd like to know how an Ecomm site works. Like, how is a shopping cart built up? When you "add to cart", it has to lay a cookie on your HD right? This is used to identify you on the server, right? What does this cookie look like? eg. what=what inside the cookie file? And then, there'll be a line inside a SQL DB or whatever on the server, containing that value (whatever was inside the cookie), and containing whatever they're shopping - am I right about all this? Also, how does a site identify you before you sign in? Like, there are plenty sites where you can go there, and start adding to cart without signing up! (obviously a BIG draw of the site!). If it's id'ing you by IP address - what happens if you log off your internet connection, and somebody else logs on, and gets your IP? (assuming you're getting your IPs by DHCP). Will they then get your cart if they go to that site???!! This is NOT very impossible - around here, there are only a few major shopping sites which Everyone goes to - the scenario above COULD be happening!! Is there any way to prevent it? (short of forcing the user to sign in??) Thanks.
