So what? You can also create objects based on "pre-filled" data.

CREATE AN OBJECT HERE!

First define a class for this above all the code:

class CartItem
{
  public $url;
  public $description;
  public $product_code;
  public $unit_cost;
  public $quantity;
}

And then use THIS(!) to create the OBJECT(!) for it:

$item = new Item();
$item->url = "https://www.pdsolutions.ca/images/newwhiteheader.png";
$item->description = $_POST['description'][$key];
$item->product_code = $_POST['id'][$key];
$item->unit_cost = $unit_cost;
$item->quantity = $quantity;
$itemssubarray[] = $item;

[...]

NO! Create an OBJECT!

Sorry - but if you are really not able to understand what I write, you
should pay someone to do the job for you.
