I create a website on my local wamp server using Aberdeen Neutral template provided by picaflor-azul.

I'm having an issue on this template: the website I set up on my local wamp server cannot correctly display the shopping cart's content. It shows:

SHOPPING CART - count_contents();?> item(s) - format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?>


According to the author Anne of the template's explanation, it is caused by wamp instead of the template.

According to Anne, the problem will get resolved if I switch to xamp from wamp. However, my switch failed after I installed xamp, most likely some setting was wrong or for whatever reason, anyway, I really know little about apache, php etc, the wamp works fine for me except for this shopping cart issue.

I wonder if someone can tell me how to track down the problem and get it sorted out? I'm sure this issue can be resolved within wamp.

Thank you very much.

(I tried to contact Anne, maybe she is busy or for whatever reason, even my question on her website is not approved to show there, so I have to seek help here. Thank you. )
