Shopping cart application question

I am writing a shopping cart application. I am expanding the application
to have a store membership component.

Right now I am saving the customers selections in one of two ways:
- In the session variable "$_SESSION['order']" if they aren't logged in
- For those who have logged into their account I am saving their
selections in the table "membership_shopping_carts"

I have ran into trouble trying to output their choices under the "cart
contents" heading. I want to invoke one of two loops --- A 'while' loop
for the session variable and a mySQL query for the logged in users.

The " } else { " confuses PHP. I am not sure what I should be doing.

$_SESSION['user_reference'] stores the value of the logged in user. This
is how I tell if s/he is logged in or not --- and which loop I want to
invoke.

Suggestions?

Ron

if ( $_SESSION['user_reference'] > 0 ) {

$user_reference = $_SESSION['user_reference'];
$query = "SELECT `store_product_profile`.`reference` FROM
`membership_shopping_carts` INNER JOIN `store_product_profile` on
`store_product_profile`.`reference` =
`membership_shopping_carts`.`store_product_profile_reference ` WHERE
`membership_shopping_carts`.`member_reference` = $user_reference ORDER BY
`store_product_profile`.`product_name` ASC";
$shopping_cart_content_result=mysql_query($query);
$cart_records_found=mysql_numrows($shopping_cart_content_res ult);

$i=0;
while ( $i < $cart_records_found ) {

} else {

foreach ($_SESSION['order'] AS $key => $value ) {

}

I didn't understand your problem. Explain clearly.

You're missing at least one brace.

If the code you supplied is a copy of what you have, you're missing a
} for the end of the while loop and one for the end of the else
condition.

So it's treating } else { as part of the while construct (and while()
doesn't have anything like an else condition).

} // end else condition

I have done something like you have said below Chris.

I put the code which is common to be loops in it's own file and I did an
INCLUDE
