Ajai-- this part I'm fine on....it's just the matter, really, of after 
instantiating that session variable, locking it in.  I think I've 
decided to do the include file thing so that index.php is not 
accessible after the first view....that way they can't restart the 
session unless they retype in the domain address, which is highly 
unlikely...if so, they will have to start over.

I've got everything going into the database in a table whose structure 
is prodID, sessionID fields in each row, so they can add an unlimited 
amount of stuff.  I just have to guard against that sessionID changing 
because it will wipe out their cart.  If that explains it better.
