Cleaning the Cart session after checkout

Hi,

We are tryin' to built first e-commerce website with eCart. (www.magicstore.magicbytes.nl).

Everything goes fine until the checkout page. If the customer wants to submit a second order in the same browser session than the order info being updated with the last one while the session ID stays same. How can we manage that the cart session has been reset after each order submit?

Regards.

Magic Bytes Team.

Clear the session variable used as the orderID on the Success page. The orderID session variable is set in the Store Cart Summary in Database server behavior on the confirm page.

You could also just clear the entire session, but that would also log the user out.

Ray,

We are using the default [Session ID] of the eCart as Order_ID.
How can we reset/refresh the default session? Or do you have another solution how to store the Order_ID in database?

Use the sample code from:

function.session-destroy.php

that will clear the session.

Ray,

We couldn't figure it out yet. I know it sounds silly but we are all designers, not programmers...

Maybe the attached screenshot explaines little bit more what our problem is.

What is the name of [Session ID] ?

Regards,

add this code to the bottom of your success page:

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');
}
session_destroy();
?>

the session id is the value of session_id:
function.session-id.php

if you want to regenerate that value it appears you can use:
session_regenerate_id
function.session-regenerate-id.php

Ray,

The destroying of the session is okay now(also logs the user out but it's not that big deal) but regenerate is not working.Session ID stays the same.

Where did you add session_regenerate_id?

Ray,

We put the following code at the end of success page.:

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');
}
session_destroy();
?>

<?php
session_start();

session_regenerate_id (true)
?>

Hmmm... maybe try:


<?php
session_start();

session_regenerate_id (true)
session_commit();
?>

It seems like it should work. Maybe us somethign besides the session_id as your orderID... there should also be an autonumber field in the orders database that is stored in the session and unique that shouldn't have this problem.
