Hiya

In principle, how does this work? I'm developing a shopping basket for one
of my sites in PHP/mySQL. So the client arrives, gets a session id, adds
things to their basket and then leaves without buying anything.

What rule do I implement to discard the basket. I can't tell that they've
left the site barring timeout, and what if someone wants to keep their
basket open overnight or similar?

What have I missed?

Cheers
J
