To answer and clarify some things:

I am saving my sessionid's on File at the moment. Thanks for good input on database calls.

However, I think you missunderstood what I meant with a shopping cart

A shopping cart is a TEMPORARY storage place where my customers put information on objects they are planning to buy.
When they are done shopping they will checkout their objects, they will receive an orderreceipt.
Relations between customer and shopping cart will be deleted.
They also have a choise of not going to the checkout, in that case relations between customer and shopping cart will be deleted.

So what information am I intrested in at the moment or will be in the future.

I already have information on my products, I store that in my PRODUCTS table
I want information on my customer, I store that in my CUSTOMER table when the customer checkout
I want information on what my customer bought, I store that in my ORDER table

Do I really want information on what products my customers put in their temporary shopping carts, products that at the end, won't be bought?
