Hello
I have just created a script for a shopping cart and in it, I instructed PHP to query a table in my database and insert it the results into another table in the same database.
To enabe users to be able to buy more than 1 product at a time I decided to use PHP sessionid, and asked PHP to insert the session id into the table to be updated, but each time I run the script I always have a Mysql error message, apparently all other data are being inserted into the table but not the session id can someone please help me out my code is below
<?php
//Start a session
session_start();
//create short variable name
$var = $_GET['var'];
$PHPSESSID = $_SESSION['PHPSESSID'];
//connect to database
$session = mysql_connect("localhost", "xplosivewe", "platinum")or die(mysql_error());
if (!$session)
{
echo 'Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.';
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("xplosiveweb_net_-_xplosive")or die(mysql_error());
if ($var == "ALP2004"){
$query ="select Title, Cat_No, Price
from movies
where Cat_No = 'ALP2004'";
}
else if($var == "GLD2000"){
$query ="select Title, Cat_No, Price
from movies
where Cat_No = 'GLD2000'";
}
else if($var == "THK200"){
$query ="select Title, Cat_No, Price
from movies
where Cat_No = 'THK2000'";
}
//fetch the info
$res = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($res)){
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
} else {
die('No rows found');
}
//add info into cart
$addtocart = "insert into cart (id, session_id, Title, Cat_No, Price, Date)
Values ('', '['PHPSESSID']', '{$row['Title']}', '{$row['Cat_No']}', '{$row['Price']}', now())";
mysql_query($addtocart) or die(mysql_error());
//redirect to showcart page
header("Location: showcart.php");
exit;
?>
