Image linking

[Mike__Duke]

Hey there,

I'm designing a simple website, for shopping (its not real) I have 4 games whcih can be 'bought'. to buy the game you must click on an image of it and are then taken to your shopping basket.

In order to buy more you go back to the mian poage and click on the game you once. Ie allowing you to buy more than one of each. I just dont understand how to tell the page which game has been clicked on (or how to increment the global variable in the shopping page).

Not sure if this is a php or html prob. Any help ould be great 🙂

you can add variables to your link.. something like this:

<a href=cart.php?game_id=1&action=add><img src=game_1.jpg></a>

now, on cart.php, just create the logic to add a game to the cart.

are you using sessions to remember what is in the cart? or maybe a table in mysql?

the way to increment the number of 'game 1' purchased would probably best be done with a qty variable.

maybe you can make an array .. something like this:

$item[0][name] = 'game_1']
$item[0][qty] = 1

then when you want to increment it,

$item[0][qty]++
