Are you using a session to store the stuff in the cart or what? I'd suggest creating a session for the user with the following variables:

array $quantity
array $product

each element of those arrays will contain the info for an item. ($quantity[0] has the quantity of the first item and $product[0] has the name or item number or id of the product).

Hey there.
Here's a code to my shopping cart

<?php require_once('../Connections/myDatabase.php'); ?>
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}


if ((isset($_POST['cartid'])) && ($_POST['cartid'] != "")) {
  $deleteSQL = sprintf("DELETE FROM cart WHERE cartid=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['cartid'], "int"));

  mysql_select_db($database_myDatabase, $myDatabase);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($deleteSQL, $myDatabase) or die(mysql_error());

  $deleteGoTo = "DeleteSuccessfully.php";
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $deleteGoTo .= (strpos($deleteGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $deleteGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
  }
  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $deleteGoTo));
}

mysql_select_db($database_myDatabase, $myDatabase);
$query_Cart = "SELECT * FROM cart";
$Cart = mysql_query($query_Cart, $myDatabase) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Cart = mysql_fetch_assoc($Cart);
$totalRows_Cart = mysql_num_rows($Cart);
?>

If possible you could guide my through the steps cos im a beginner in PHP.

Hmm, you've got an input for the quantity. Did you add that in the hope of getting it to work? Does the cart work how it is without quantity? What do you actually mean by "add the amount of items in the shopping cart"?.
