texte = AlainWe deal with some very complex ordering systems, we need to collect 175 fields of information from each customer to complete their order. Currently we use all 40 headers with delimeters to hold the data and then split the headers to get the data our again.Our carts are never destroyed, all carts are held for various reasons. If we keep all the order data in one place life is easier than spreading it around.Things would be simpler if we could just add a few more headers :) On Friday, October 25, 2002, at 04:04 PM, Alain Russell wrote:> What do you do with 40 headers .. ?? > Why not use a session file on the server to get around this .. > > But seriously, your going to have to stop thinking of stuff to put in > there > soon .. > >> Alain >> >> This was Scott's reply re more headers: >> >> Yes, for the 5.0 release, there are plans to increase the 'TEXT' >> lineitem >> fields to TextA-TextZ.
