i am still very much stuck in my shopping cart application.
i believe the problem is in the following line of code:
<td align="left"><input type="text" size="3" name="$name" value='<?echo $_POST["cart"]["$name"];?>' /></td>
when i click on 'submit' (see full code of products.php below) it takes me to my_cart.php where i tried checking to make sure the _POST[] came out with names of products and values submitted by the user.
in stead i get the following output:
printing _POST[cart]
$name---
for the code:
echo "printing _POST[cart]<br>";
foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
echo "$k---$v<br>";
}
please help me figure it out thank you 🙂
//beginning of the FORM
echo '<form action="my_cart.php" name="cart" method="post" >';
//traversing outer array in this loop
//'name' is the 'key' and 'description' is the 'value' of this outer array
while (list($name, $description) = each($product))
{
//calculating grand total of an item's 'price' and 'shipping' which are stored in the inner
//array and are pointed by the keys 'price' and 'shipping' respectively
$grand_total = calc_total($description[Price], $description[Shipping]);
$shipping = $description[Shipping] * $description[Price];
?>
<tr>
<td align="left"><? echo $name;?></td>
<td align="left"><? echo number_format($description[Price], 2);?></td>
<td align="left"><? echo number_format($shipping, 2); ?></td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" size="3" name="$name" value='<?echo $_POST["cart"]["$name"];?>' /></td>
<td align="right"><? echo number_format($grand_total, 2);?></td>
</tr>
<?
}
// Print the footer, close the table, and the form:
?><tr>
<td colspan="4" align="right"><b>Total:</b></td>
<!--<td align="right">$' . number_format ($total, 2) . '</td>-->
<td align="center">TEST</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6" align="center">TEST</td>
</tr>
</table><div align="center"><input type=submit value="SUBMIT"></div>
</form>
