Simple PHP E-Commerce Shopping Cart

This is a simple e-commerce web application built using PHP and MySQL. It allows authenticated users to browse products, add them to a shopping cart, and remove them from the cart. The application uses PHP sessions and cookies for user authentication and cart management.

Features

• User Authentication: Users must be logged in to access the shopping cart functionality.
• Product Browsing: Users can view a list of available products from the database.
• Add to Cart: Users can add products to their shopping cart.
• Remove from Cart: Users can remove products from their cart.
• Session and Cookie Management: User sessions are utilized for authentication, and cookies are used to store cart information.

Technologies Used

• PHP
• MySQL
• HTML
• Sessions and Cookies for authentication and cart management

Database Setup

The application requires a MySQL database with the following structure:

Database: storedb

Table: products

Column	Type	Description
id	INT	Unique identifier for the product
title	VARCHAR	Title of the product
image	VARCHAR	URL/path to the product image
price	DECIMAL	Price of the product

How It Works

1. Session Check:

   • The application checks for a valid user session. If the user is not logged in, they are redirected to login.php.

2. Logout Functionality:

   • Users can log out, which clears their session and cookies, redirecting them back to the login page.

3. Adding Products:

   • Users can click the "buy" button for a product to add it to their cart. If the product is already in the cart, it won't be added again.

4. Removing Products:

   • Users can remove products from their cart. The cart is updated in the cookie accordingly.

5. Displaying Products and Cart:

   • The application connects to the MySQL database to retrieve and display available products. It also displays items currently in the user's cart.
