Session trouble, i'll pay!!!

korcian

Attached are the scripts i'm using provided by:

http://www.webforce.co.nz/cart/php-cart.php

But i can't get it to carry over the shopping cart contents using the php sessions. Any one got any ideas, I can pay if need be.

Thanks loads!!!

as the instructions say you need to import the data into the shoping cart via this line of code:

$cart->add_item(code,quantity,price,info);

In you code (in page add.php) you have:

$cart->add_item($itemid,$qty,$price,$info);

As I understood it the variables in this line are session variables (correct me if I'm wrong) - and if they are they should be called to as such i.e. they need to be in this fashion called $_SESSION['itemid'] and so on...

If they aren't session variables then you just don't initialise nor give them no values anywhere in the code...

Thanks man, yeah that makes sense, i've tried it but still no luck. I noticed there isn't anywhere the code:

$_SESSION['variable'] = "variable value";

I take it, php needs this line to pass over the variables over seperate pages. My problem is, i don't know where to place these lines? Any ideas?

bodzan

...what you mean...

To put this code on which page?

Maybe you mean:

$cart->add_item($SESSION[itemid],$SESSION['qty'],$SESSION['price'],$SESSION['info']);

For this line of code just put it where you need it. I figure that class you're using needs this line to add items to cart. After that it calculates the value and the total sum. Anyway, if this is what's confusing you just modify this line in add.php and use
$_SESSION['variable'] = "variable value";

line in your pages where you need the item to add to your cart.

I believe that's the solution to your problems.

arrrrrrrrrr man, i think this is right 😃

$cart->add_item($SESSION['itemid'] = "AB313",$SESSION['qty'] = 1,$SESSION['price'] = 40.11,$SESSION['info'] = "Testing Product");

is the code i've used to add the product. This should be passing the variables over multiple pages.

Just one little thing, if I want to see this variables, what code do i use? Would this be correct?

echo $_SESSION['itemid'];

And would i need to edit the function get_contents() in wfcart.php?

AND THANKS A MILLION MATE, THIS IS MUCH APPRECIATED 😃

bodzan

echo $_SESSION['itemid'];
is the right way to show variable content.

About get_contents function in the class modify it if that's what you need to do. However, I don't know what you want to achieve with modifying that function.

I can't see no problems with that function but if you need different things from that function you might need to modify it. But be carefull not to mess it up. It was meant to do things a certain way and you might spoil it and might get a flaws in wfcart.php file.

korcian

well i need it to display whats in the session. At the moment wfcart.php get_contents function only displays the local variables. Is there a better way of doing this than this?

One thing though is the get_contents function setup as a loop so it will display more than one array?

Thanks!
