The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Having shopping-cart / cookie problems with new webserver

Asked by amblin in E-Commerce, Stores & Carts, Miscellaneous Web Development

Tags: cookie, problem

OK.  Here's my problem.  I just moved a website, hockeyoutlet.com, from an in-house webserver to an off-site webserver.  The website worked 100% of the time on the old in-house server.  No error messages, no problems.  Once the site was moved, without any changes to the programing of any page, I started geting all kinds of error messages with array_multisort(), setcookie(), cannot modify header info, invalid arguement supplied, etc., etc., etc.  I have since used EE to find solutions to each of those problems and I no longer receive any error messages of any kind.

The problems I am having now are two-fold:  first, items can be placed into the shopping-cart but when the customer goes to checkout, the shopping-cart is emptied and the customer is taken to a page telling them that there is nothing in their cart.  second, when the customer clicks the return link to view their shopping cart, the shopping-cart is shown as emty, but no matter what is placed in the cart after that, the shopping cart is always empty.  Nothing can be added again until the browser is closed and a new browser window is opened.

Here are the pages I've had to make the most changes to to get rid of the original error messages:

http://hockeyoutlet.com/HOaddtocart.php
http://hockeyoutlet.com/HOshowcartcontent.php
http://hockeyoutlet.com/HOcookie1.php
http://hockeyoutlet.com/HOcookie2.php
http://hockeyoutlet.com/HOcheckout1.php

The websites main index page is currently showing that the website is down temporarily for maintenance.  The entry point to the site is http://hockeyoutlet.com/main-full.php.

Can anyone give me any idea why I cannot get anything to stay in the cart so that the customer can checkout and complete their transaction without incident.

Thanks in advance for your expertise.
