session variables help

have a site using eCart 4 for a couple of years and not having any problems until now.

Unusual situations where a user added an item to the cart, filled out the checkout form, submitted the order from confirm.php and went to PayPal to pay.
Then went back to the products page (without closing the browser) and started another cart added a different item, filled out the checkout form again, submitted the order again and paid through PayPal.

Paypal worked and the client received payment from both orders, but the problem is the ecart store order summary and order detail.
The database only received the information for the first order?

thanks for your help,
-Jim Balthrop

most likely the session is not being destroyed on the success page.

add the following code to the success page after the </html> tag to destroy the previous session and create a new one:

php:
<?php

// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
@session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
    
$params session_get_cookie_params();
    @
setcookie(session_name(), ''time() - 42000,
        
$params["path"], $params["domain"],
        
$params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
    );
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
@session_destroy();
?>
