CubeCart Basket Data Structure

In CubeCart's "session" table exists a field called "basket". This field holds information about the items currently ordered by customers (i.e. their basket). A string may look like this: a:4:{s:5:"conts";a:1:{s:17:"59:2214|2440|2218";a:1:{s:8:"quantity";d:1;}}s:11:"currentStep";s:1:"1";s:9:"stepLimit";s:1:"2";s:8:"shipCost";s:1:"0";} As a PHP programmer, we need you to extract this information from a string like above into an associative array that we can access unique values. The most important values for us are "59:2214|2440|2218" and quantity. By obseravation, I believe you can group these elements by 2. For example: conts: array("59:2214|2440|2218", "quantity": 1) currentStep: 1 stepLimit: 2 shipCost: 0 ## Deliverables [login to view URL] requirements notice: As originally posted, this bid request does not have complete details.
