So, I wanted to build my own simple SS webshop with a session shopping cart.

Getting quite far with adding and modifing quantity in the session cart.

But when I want to remove an item from the array SS keeps falling back on the old session vars. Using a regular $_SESSION does work....

The cart items array is like:

$item = array($productid => $quantity);

Example which won't work:
function remove($productid){
		$cart_items = Session::get('cart_items');
		unset ($cart_items[$productid]);
		Session::clear('cart_items');       //even this will cause SS Session to pick the old array with the rmoved item.
		Session::set('cart_items', $cart_items);	//this works when modifying quantity, the new array is used correct	
		if(!$this->isAjax()) Director::redirectBack();
	}

Example which do work:
function remove($productid){
		$cart_items = Session::get('cart_items');
		unset ($cart_items[$productid]);
		$_SESSION['cart_items'] = $cart_items;		
		if(!$this->isAjax()) Director::redirectBack();
	}

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi again,

thanks to Martijn yesterday I discovered that this was problem due to I didn't use serialize and unserialize.
