shopping cart

[chrisleon]

I have a great shopping cart application, but I want to add the ability to enter the item number without searching. Just like an order form or 10-key order entry. I have all the items in a mysql database, now I just have to figure out a form that allows a user to type in an item number and quantity and have it retrive the price and description from the database. If anyone has seen this or has worked on this type of script, please advise. I am struggling big time.

thanx

1. Create a form that let's the user enter the qty and item number

2. When the submit, check to see if the item # is valid, if so, grab your data "WHERE item_num = $user_item_num" and populate your variables.

3. If it's not valid, return them to the form and tell them the item number doesn't exist.

It should be pretty straight forward.
