OK, I'm trying to use a session...

Easter_Bunny

I'm trying to use sessions in another little shopping thing. It all takes place like this:

First you login(I got that to work), then you declare the items in the store(only three items - it's a small store 😃 ) as well as their prices. Those items get "carried over" to the next form and then you choose the items you would like to purchase. When you submit the form, you get taken to the last page where you are supposed to be shown something like this:

==============================================

You have selected the following:

3 X Apples, at a cost of : R 21
6 X Pears, at a cost of : R 12
2 X Grapes, at a cost of : R 14

Total : R 33

==============================================

("R" being our currency in South Africa: Rand - aka: Monopoly Money)

But instead of printing "Apples" and so on, it prints "on". I'm completely "bowled over" by this, as I can't explain or sort it out. Throwing things around the room also doesn't seem to help. 😃

A bit of the code I'm using (boring and irrelavant parts - according to me - have been let out) looks like this:


session_register("item1check1, ....");

//a bit of boring and irrelavant code
						 Item 1: <input type=text name=item1>
Price: <input type=text name=price1><br>

//bla bla bla

$item1check = $item1;

//some irrelavant code

print("<input type=checkbox name=item1check> $item1<br>
          Units needed: <input type=text name=units1><br>");

//more irrelavant code

if ($item1check)
{
    $cost1 = $price1 * $units1;
    print("$units1 X $item1check, at a cost of : R $cost1<br>");
    $total += $cost1;
}

//a little irrelavant code

Excuse me for posting such a long thread.:rolleyes:

Thanks for your help(in advance, of course) 🙂

Um...Sorry...I, kinda figured it out :rolleyes:

In this part:


Item 1: <input type=text name=item1>
Price: <input type=text name=price1><br>

//bla bla bla

$item1check = $item1;

I took out:


$item1check = $item1;

so that I could use


if ($item1check)
{
    $cost1 = $price1 * $units1;
    print("$units1 X $item1, at a cost of : R $cost1<br>");
            $total += $cost1;
}

Now the names of the items get carried right to the end. 🙂

What I did here, does it look right? Am I using sessions the right way, or am I still way off?

Still with the same shopping program(for a very small shop)

I've got the three checkboxes called whatever the user called them, let say, "Apples", "Pears" and "Grapes".

If you select "Apples" and say you want 3 of them, then it's supposed to say :

You have selected the following:

3 X Apples, at a cost of : R 12

Total : R 12

It's supposed show only the items you selected. Instead it says:

You have selected the following:

3 X Apples, at a cost of : R 12
X Pears, at a cost of : R 0

Total : R 12

If the first checkbox is selected, the second one is somehow carried on and displays it as above.
If the first and third checkbox is selected, the second one is carried on again. If the third checkbox is selected, then it shows you this:

You have selected the following:

X Apples, at a cost of : R 0
X Pears, at a cost of : R 0
12 X Grapes, at a cost of : R 36

Total : R 36

😕

What am I doing (or not doing)?

Well, I didn't analyse completely your code, but I think I found something :

session_register("item1check1, ....");

The way you do it, it's wrong. You must do like this :

session_register("item1check1", "item2check1", "...", "...", ...);

A quote ("), a variable, a quote ("), a coma (,), another quote("), another variable, and so on.

Sorry, I just misstyped it at the top. :o
I have it in like this:

	

session_register("item1check", "item2check", "item3ckeck",".....");

But thanks for pointing it out. Next time I'll read through my "thread" before I post it.😃

Thanks.
