I have a session with some stored id's which relate to rows in a mySQL table.
This is fine - i can use a for each loop and they all appear. However, in this session an id may appear twice which is perfectly ok.
The problem arises when i go to get information relating to the ids.
Here is what i have so far:
$query = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id IN(";
foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $key => $value){
$query .= $value.", ";
}
$query = substr($query,0,-2).")";
echo $query;
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result) {
die("<p>There was an error with your basket</p>".mysql_error());
}
while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<p>".$rows['name']."</p>";
}
This is all works ok but has one problem, if i have an id in the session that appears twice - it will only echo $rows['name'] once. i dont know how i can work around this?
Is there a way i can get it to display the info twice OR a way to indicate the number of times that id appears (like a quantity?)
Any help would be appreciated 
Sorry, i'm not familiar with the hash array?
ah sorry, i see what you mean by hash array - i know this as an associative array.
still a bit unsure what you mean!
thank you for your continued help!
