Not sure about that. This works in as much as it displays the cart. The
problem I have is when I run this bit of code twice. I'm pretty sure that
the problem is because it loops through the array and displays the contents
of each element. Once it's finished at position 'n', the array counter
stays at position 'n'. What I need to do is run the code again from
position 0. I've even tried mysql_data_seek(0). This almost works but you
get:

[blank]
Product 1 £9.99
Total £19.98

when you run it the second time, even though there is only one item in the
cart. The first time it runs, it displays what it should.
