Is there a 'problem' with Alpha Numeric Product Id's

Well I finally got my nameservers repointed so that I could Cpanel install Agora - which went off nicely.

Reading through some posts and the online manual - there is the suggestion that using Alpha Numeric Product Id's is undesireable and 'may not work right'

Equally there has been at least one reply I read which said AlphaNum Id's 'should work all right'

So - my question is - are AlphaNum Id's ok - with a key pad length of 8-10 ?

Thanks

Matthew

Well I answered part of my own question - key pad length can only be <=9

so that's one thing less to worry about :-)

hell-o
that can be increased. it amounts to about the same thing as increasing the characters in a text box in the prtected folder.
alpha numeric p_id will apparently work just fine. if, however, you need to use var_options then you will need to alter a very minor thingie.
contrary to a previous post the variable options do work.

I use alpha numeric product ID's in my stores and they work just fine. The only time I have any trouble, was with the variable/quantity discount options. There's a place in the option code that needs to be "eq" instead of "==".
Specifically, the following line:
if ($xpid == $cart_row[$cart{'product_id'}]) {$qty = $qty + $xqty;}

I had to change it to the following for it to work properly with my alpha numeric product ID's:
if ($xpid eq $cart_row[$cart{'product_id'}]) {$qty = $qty + $xqty;}

HTH!
