PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 36

Question

I have a simple php checkout but when adding the product to basket i get the following error:

PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 36 in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\shopping\cart.php on line 76

If i then refresh the page or go back to add another product it displays a product fine, it seems to be when adding to first product to the cart we get this error. any help would be much appreciated as all the answers i have tried have not worked.

                        // connect to the database
                        include("databasedrop.php");

Shot in the dark, but only solution I can see.

Do you ever create the $_SESSION['cart']-array?

Try this:

switch ($action) {
    case "add":
    if (!isset($_SESSION['cart'][$ProductID])) {
        $_SESSION['cart'][$ProductID] = 1;
    }
    else {
        $_SESSION['cart'][$ProductID]++;
    }
    break;
