How to Build Shopping Cart w/ Checkout in PHP

I just rewrite the code included in this post to fix minor problem encounter by other PHP programmers who can’t run the shopping cart.
The code is taken from this link: http://www.qualitycodes.com/tutorial.php?articleid=25&title=Tutorial-Building-a-shopping-cart-in-PHP.
As you may have noticed, a lot of programmers are screaming for help on how to fix some bugs on this tutorial. Since I cannot upload the code in the said website, I decided to post it here. Still credit goes to “Richard Clark”.
Changes on the code are following:
- Change “<?” to “<?php” to handle php correctly. Some old program still uses “<?” to run PHP code. However, PHP 5 is not stricter and requires you to use php after <?, unless you configure Apache to allow such a shorthand support.
- Add echo command instead of equal (=) sign.
Note: If you run the code prior to downloading this code, make sure to clear your browser cache.
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. After downloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.
Virus note: All files are scanned once-a-day by SourceCodester.com for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:
1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

Uploading files to Web Server
Hello,
I've tried uploading the files directly to my web server, but it still produces errors and not the shopping cart. Is there something I should be doing differently such as uploading the sql file elsewhere?

Passing a variable to shooping Cart thru the URL
Hello Sir,
Quick question if you can please help me. I want to pass a variable to the shoppingcart.php coming from products.php so that when the customer clicks on "Continue Shopping" it will put the customer back to the products page based on that variable. Basically I call the products page like this for example the $dealID value is 37 "products.php?dealID=37". That part works just fine my problem is when I put the item on the shopping cart when I click on continue shopping I need it to go back to "products.php?dealID=37" but I cant seem to make the shopping cart load the $dealID variable
I hope you can help me with this.
