Good afternoon everyone. May I ask for some help? I am slowly getting to understand the practical aspects of Zen Cart, but I would like to also be able to understand php coding. Over the years I have found that a combination of text books and practical examples is the best way forward in tackling the ‘steep curve’ for me. I would very much like to do the following:

Using a Local Host setup:

1. Create a file (i.e. MyStore_variables) for storing variables.
2. Construct a piece of code which I can embed into any ZC program of interest.
3. Collect the contents of the variables in the program of interest, as the program runs.
4. Store these variables into the file MyStore and save in the ZC file structure.

Is there anyone who could provide a solution? I do not want a full blown program just the basics and that in itself would help with php learning.

Back in BASIC days I could STOP, HALT or PAUSE a program and type in the variable name(s), which would then appear on the VDU or be sent to a printer.

Many thanks for any help.
