So...do you mean you want the remove button there right on that page you just sent? shouldnt the remove button be in the "cart screen"? or is that what you meant.

by the way, when people add things to the cart, are they being stored in an sql database?

Hello Toadums,
First, Thank you for your reply. as for the remove button. if you click Add To cart button on that page, the item you choosed will display in the running order table in the same page below. so whatever items that a customer would choose it will be displayed in the same page. so I want to add a remove button in the running order table beside each item so that the customer can remove it, but in the meanwile I want the calculation to be correct, i.e the total price.

after people choose the items and click continue, I have a script that e-mails me and e-mails the customer what they choosed, so orders aren't stored in a database.

hope you can help me add the remove button.

Oh..you arent using databases 🙁 I'm not too sure then (im new to php and html too 😛)

one thing that i can think of is setting up a session variable that is an integer that just keeps track of which form you are on (i see that you are making a different form each time an item is added...although im not sure why, you may want to explore the wonderful world of javascript...i was hesitant at first to introduce another language into my stuff, but it is GREAT and pretty easy 😛)

Actually now that I think about it, you are going to have to use javascript lol...

but anyways, make a form that has the same number as the button (on the same form...)

ie form1 - button1
form2 - button2

...if you dont know how to use session variables, they are pretty easy.

up at the VERY top of your code add

<?php
session_start();
?>

and then just start the variable at 0 (using $_SESSION['entryNumber'] = 0) and then each time you make a new form, name the form

name ="form<?php echo $_SESSION['entryNumber'];?>"

and do the same for the button

after each time increment the session value $_SESSION['entryNumber'] ++;

Hope this is right...and helps...might give you an idea how to start it...but in terms of deleting entries, you are going to have to explore javascript..

ok Paul, now I added the remove button beside each item, the problem is when you click the remove button , it miss up the caculation. when you remove item and add another item, it doesnt calculate right. do you have an idea how to fix it ?

[Toadums]

Could i see your code which does the calculation?

btw - does the remove button remove the entry?

well, it does remove the entry, but it act up. for example and you can try it yourself online. if you add 2 entries, and you remove one then add another entry it add an empty entry and it miss the calculation.

here is the code:

<?
if($POST['AddToCart'] && $POST["ProductName"] || $SESSION['CustomerOrder']){
if( $POST["ProductName"] ){
$Order = array();
$ShoppingSession = array();

$IdProduct 		= $_POST['IdProduct'];
$ProductName 	= $_POST['ProductName'];
$Size 			= $_POST['Size'];
$Quantity 		= $_POST['Quantity'];
$ProductPrice 	= ($_POST['ProductPrice']) ;

$Totalprice = number_format( $Quantity * $ProductPrice,02) ;
$OrderPrice = number_format( $_SESSION['OrderPrice'] + $Totalprice,02 );
$_SESSION['OrderPrice'] = $OrderPrice;
$CustomerOrder  = $_SESSION['CustomerOrder'].'--'.$IdProduct.'|'.$ProductName.'|'.$Size.'|'.$Quantity.'|'.$ProductPrice.'|'.$Totalprice.'|'.$OrderPrice;
$CustomerOrder = trim($CustomerOrder,'--');
$_SESSION['CustomerOrder'] = $CustomerOrder;

// echo $CustomerOrder;
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
}else{
$CustomerOrder = $_SESSION['CustomerOrder'] ;
$CustomerOrder = trim($CustomerOrder,'--');

$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);

}
if($REQUEST['r']){
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
$CustomerOrderArray[$REQUEST['IdShopping']]='';
$CustomerOrder = '';
foreach($CustomerOrderArray as $ke=>$val){
$CustomerOrder .= '--'.$val;

}
 $_SESSION['CustomerOrder']=$CustomerOrder  ;
$CustomerOrder = str_replace('----','',$CustomerOrder); 
$CustomerOrder = trim($CustomerOrder,'--');
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);

}
if ( $CustomerOrder){
?>

Hey looks like your PHP skills are light years ahead of mine!! 😛 lol

But I dont see how it will work if all your button are named "r"

I have never used arrays in php tho. right here

if($_REQUEST['r']){
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
$CustomerOrderArray[$_REQUEST['IdShopping']]='';
$CustomerOrder = '';
foreach($CustomerOrderArray as $ke=>$val){
$CustomerOrder .= '--'.$val;

}

Is that $_REQUEST['IdShopping'] getting the unique idShopping value from the form which the button 'r' was just pressed..?

if it is, cant you jsut go

$toRemove = ($_REQUEST['productPrice'])*($_REQUEST['quantity'])

and then at the bottom of that iff block, you could put in

$OrderPrice = number_format( $_SESSION['OrderPrice'] -$toRemove,02 );

Makes sense that you can...but like i said...im not quite sure since you are using hella arrays and the face that you have multiple forms also confuses me 😛

Hope this was the right solution...if not, I dont think I can help ya out, sorry 😛

and just a note: Some people on the forums will get pissy if you dont enclose your code in [PHP ][/PHP ] (without the spaces) note the buttons when you click go advanced 😉

sorry, I am new to php forums anyway. so I am posting the code again in the php codes. and Thank you so much Paul for trying to help me. I appreciate it.

<?
if($_POST['AddToCart'] && $_POST["ProductName"] || $_SESSION['CustomerOrder']){
if( $_POST["ProductName"] ){
$Order = array(); 
$ShoppingSession = array();

$IdProduct = $_POST['IdProduct'];
$ProductName = $_POST['ProductName'];
$Size = $_POST['Size'];
$Quantity = $_POST['Quantity'];
$ProductPrice = ($_POST['ProductPrice']) ;

$Totalprice = number_format( $Quantity * $ProductPrice,02) ;
$OrderPrice = number_format( $_SESSION['OrderPrice'] + $Totalprice,02 );
$_SESSION['OrderPrice'] = $OrderPrice;
$CustomerOrder = $_SESSION['CustomerOrder'].'--'.$IdProduct.'|'.$ProductName.'|'.$Size.'|'.$Quantity.'|'.$ProductPrice.'|'.$Totalprice.'|'.$OrderPrice;
$CustomerOrder = trim($CustomerOrder,'--');
$_SESSION['CustomerOrder'] = $CustomerOrder;
// echo $CustomerOrder;
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
}else{
$CustomerOrder = $_SESSION['CustomerOrder'] ;
$CustomerOrder = trim($CustomerOrder,'--');

$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
} 
if($_REQUEST['r']){
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
$CustomerOrderArray[$_REQUEST['IdShopping']]='';
$CustomerOrder = '';
foreach($CustomerOrderArray as $ke=>$val){
$CustomerOrder .= '--'.$val;

}
$_SESSION['CustomerOrder']=$CustomerOrder ;
$CustomerOrder = str_replace('----','',$CustomerOrder); 
$CustomerOrder = trim($CustomerOrder,'--');
$CustomerOrderArray = split('--',$CustomerOrder);
} 
if ( $CustomerOrder){
