      $order = array_unique(array_merge($_SESSION['products'], $order));
    }
    $_SESSION['products'] = $order; 
  }

I've taken a very quick and slightly messy stab at it here. Fundamentally I disagree with the way you're doing things, you should really be thinking about using a more OO approach - but for the sake of getting things done, this should solve your problem and provide a bit more flexibility in future.

Oh and, check this out when you get a chance: http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php

Your array_unique(array_merge... code would have merged all products that had the same quantity and you would have lost products from the array. :)

Any questions, fire them over.

// im assuming you've called this somewhere already:
// session_start();

// store the initial details
$quantity = $_POST['quantity'];
$total = $the_price_is * $quantity; // want to be able to send $total at same time

// build multi-dimensional order array
$order = array(
    $_POST['dryer'] => array('quantity' => $_POST['quantity'], 'total' => $total)
);

// merge any session products into the order array if necessary
if (isset($_SESSION['products']) && is_array($_SESSION['products']) ) foreach ($_SESSION['products'] as $name => $details) {

    // add quantity and total if the 'product' is already in the session
    if (isset($order[$name])) {
        $order[$name]['quantity'] += $details['quantity'];
        $order[$name]['total'] += $details['total'];
    } else $order[$name] = $details;

}


// replace session products with newly built order array
$_SESSION['products'] = $order;
