Add to cart, but dont change the page

[Anon]

Hi, I have this link below which adds certain item to my shopping cart and redirects to the cart page.. I was wondering if I could Add the item to the cart, but NOT redirect to the cart page unless I click on another link that links to the cart?

(the view_cart.php3 includes the shoppingcart.php3 which contains the function for add, and delete)

echo "<A HREF=\"view_cart.php3?add=".urlencode($row[product]);
if (!$ShoppingCart)
echo "&session=$session\">";
else
echo "\">";
echo "Add this item to your cart</A><BR><BR>";
}

the form tag is like : <form method=post action="currentpage.php>

THanks

some Java Script and playing around with layers will solve the problem 🙂) am not going to go into any detail, but try searching the web for somekind of dynamic menues or such, that are printed in invisible layers... links can be so that only the contents of the layer are renewed keeping the main page untouched.... otherwise I don't see any other way to do this... (unless you like frames, which are EVIL)

I don't know what your cart code looks like, but I have quite a bit of experience making shopping carts... in the carts that I design I have a page that runs all the backend modifications to the cart (adds, removes, lists, etc) and i require() it into any script that wants access to the cart and then call that function (addtocart() or removefromcart() etc) could you not include shoppingcart.php3 into your item description page, and then link it to itself, as such a href=currentpage.php?add=".urlencode($row[product]);
and then an if isset($add) {addtocard($add)}
