Populating zen cart shopping cart from a script

[webcomsystems]

Hi,

I'm trying to populate the zen cart shopping cart from a script in a client installed program.

I will be posting to a url script (written by me) and then use this script to populate set items into the cart.

The user will then be be prompted to log on or register, then proceed to Checkout.

the problem is I cant find where these items are stored? Where does the shopping cart reside? Which table?

I'm using Zencart 1.3.9 on LINUX/apache server.

thanks in advance.

They are only temporary until ordered, then they are in the orders table

Not sure what you are attempting from your description

So a better detailed description might be in order

Basically I have a client-installed application which can post to a url and order supplies from my shop.

so the post url could be....

http://www.myshop.com/populate_cart....m2=32&item3=50

So I want to write my script populate_cart.php to handle adding items into the cart.

Now, I know that you dont need to be logged on to Zen Cart to add items to your shopping cart, but what I need to know is where the items are actually stored?

I thought it was in the orders_products table but it appears not.

Can anyone help? there must be a table somewhere that stores this data, since it cant be stored in a cookie, too small!

Any help appreciated.

If you mean products then they are in the 'products" table

If not then again expand on what your are actually referring to...

what I mean is, where are the shopping cart items stored when you add an item to the cart?

Normally it's the orders_products table, if you're logged on.

But if you're NOT logged on, where are they stored? There must be another "non-authenticated" cart somewhere? ie some kind of session cart which stores the items to your cart as you add them.

thanks
