PHP - Store Shopping Cart Information - Session Vs. Cookies
What's the best way to store shopping cart information? I want things to stay in the cart for up to 2 weeks after they're added, without the need for somebody to log-in to their account to store them. Should I store the information in a database some how and then set a cookie referencing the cart_id in the db?

I'm using this Shopping Cart class http://www.webforcecart.com/manual.html The cart is stored as an object in $_SESSION[cart]. This method Code: [Select] print_r($cart->get_contents());would get this as output: Array ( => Array ( [id] => 7 [qty] => 1 [price] => 11.00 [info] => Test [subtotal] => 11 ) [1] => Array ( [id] => 6 [qty] => 2 [price] => 19.00 [info] => White 0 [subtotal] => 38 ) ) In the table Order I would like to store order-id customer-id total products total quantity total price date In the table Orderrow I would like to sto order-id, product-id, product-name, quantity, price, subtotal I know i can get the order-id with the function mysql_insert_id() but how can i store each product in the array with their info in the table Orderrow? Or is there a better way to do this? please advice me, thank you. Hey guys, Lovely forum. So I'm building a simple shopping cart from php and mysql. Whenever I update the quantity of the item that I want, I don't want it to duplicate all of the information but instead want it to merge the quantity together. Below is an example of what happens. Note that Test Item has been added to the cart 3 separate times with different quantities (2, 1, and 1). How can I merge this information to show Test Item once with the total quantity? I know it's some kind of merge, but I'm a coding noob. Thanks! Here is some (maybe) relevant information: Code: [Select] $insert = "INSERT INTO new_cart (sku, quantity, username) VALUES ('".$ssku."', '".$squantity."', '".$username."')"; mysql_query($insert); } echo "<table>"; $select = "SELECT * FROM new_cart JOIN products ON new_cart.sku = products.sku where '".$username."' = new_cart.username"; What needs to be changed or updated? EDIT: If you need more information, feel free to let me know and I'll post it. Need help with this code, if someone can help me.. // current session id $sid = session_id(); // check if the product is already // in cart table for this session $sql = "SELECT pd_id FROM tbl_cart WHERE pd_id = $productId AND ct_session_id = '$sid'"; $result = dbQuery($sql); There is a problem with $sid = session_id();, in my code, that function always get me 0 in my php code.. do i need to set this in some other way.. Anyway, there are no registred users, i just need to set session for current user.. Like this tutorial: Code: [Select] http://www.phpwebcommerce.com/shop-add-to-cart.php Hey again, Still on the same project but now doing the cart page. I've been bringing my skills up to date a lot doing this project, however, having said that I now can't figure out why my cart is not adding the items to the cart, i've checked the post data and the quantity is set to 1. Would really appreciate someone having a look at it and hopefully can see what i'm missing. you can see what it should look like (well so far lol) at here in my sandbox site. thanks again. (p.s. The parts are all over the place on the page, so thought better put whole page, sorry if shouldn't have done that) <?php // Initialize the session session_start(); // Include config file require_once "dbcontroller.php"; $db_handle = new DBController(); if(!empty($_GET["action"])) { switch($_GET["action"]) { case "add": if(!empty($_POST["quantity"])) { $productByCode = $db_handle->runQuery("SELECT * FROM products WHERE product_code='" . $_GET["product_code"] .

Hey all not been on here for a few years, been out of work. i am back and throwing ,myself straight into the deep end. Is it hard to integrate a shopping cart into a website. Any good example snippets of code to look at? I have a little search but someone always seems to know a better one. Why are almost all tutorials these days you have to pay for (times are getting hard ). I have followed a shopping cart tutorial from this website. http://v3.thewatchmakerproject.com/journal/276/ 1. When you refresh the page it adds another item to the cart. 2. I would like to add an image of the products from a folder and the link of the images in the database. Can some one please help. Urgently! Thanks. Need some help on developing the steps below I am working on a website money collection system that consist of stores affiliating to the website and sales their products in the website as independent stores. But I am not sure how to collect the percentage I will deduct per transaction for the stores. I have elaborated two plans but I don't know is those a good ideas in terms of bringing more store in to the website and have them comfortable by the way the website hold business with their stores owners. 1- I was thinking of collecting all the money of transactions into a single paypal account and then try to pay them weekly or in a monthly basis. (I am not sure about this first option because I don't know whether the store owners will be thinking to much into it at the time of making a decision to register and to sell their products in the website. I guess they might think whether the website administrator will delivery the money every week, or if the website administrators are going to steal them etc. So this option I don't know if with some changes can be implemented. 2- The second option was to let each store administer each transaction with their credit/debit machine they have at the store and make the transaction right there and then on a monthly or weekly basis the website administrator charge them for the amount of transaction done during that time period in the website. 3- Third option is create a paypal account for each store and at the moment of the transaction to transfer the money to each store account and have the website paypal account deduct its percentage from the transaction and have the store owner paypal account deduct its part. For healthy business purpose and website grow in terms of acquiring more stores into the website which of those three options would be the best option to choose or if there is another idea even better for business grow and comfortability among stores owner that you guys might have in mind share it. Is selecting an option relevant to the grow of the website or it is? co.ador Can someone give me name of free shopping cart with auctions(offers) like Open Classifieds ? To add items to my shopping cart the user must select a size and then click 'add to basket'. When they do this is adds the item and corresponding size to a string in this format 1s2 where 1 is the id and 2 is the size. Multiple items would look like this 1s2,2s1,1s2 That's all fine. The problem I am now having is getting the code to recognise 1s2 exists twice in the string and putting the $qty to 2 for that item. Here is my current code. Any help on this would be HUGELY appreciated as it's doing my head in! Thanks! Code: [Select] <div id="view_basket"> <ul> <?php $basket = $_SESSION['basket']; if ($basket) { $data = preg_split("#[s,]#", $basket); $data = array_chunk($data, 2); foreach($data as $key => $val) $contents[] = (isset($contents[$data])) ? $contents[$data] + 1 : 1; echo '<form action="basket.php?action=update" method="post">'; echo '<table>'; foreach ($data as $id=>$qty) { $sql = "SELECT * FROM store WHERE id LIKE '$id' AND live LIKE '0'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { extract($rows); ?> <li> <div id="view_basket_image"> <img src="<?php echo $rows['indeximage']; ?>" /> </div> <div id="view_basket_title"> <span class="view_basket_brand"><?php echo $rows['brand']; ?> ·</span> <span class="view_basket_description"><?php echo $rows['title']; ?></span> </div> <div id="view_basket_qty"> <input type="text" name="qty<?php echo $id; ?>" value="<?php echo $qty; ?>" size="3" maxlength="3" class="view_basket_qty" /> </div> <div id="view_basket_price"> <span class="view_basket_x">x</span>£<?php echo $rows['price']; ?> <?php /* WORK OUT ITEM WEIGHTS */ $itemweight = $rows['weight'] * $qty; $totalweight += $rows['weight'] * $qty; ?> </div> <div id="view_basket_itemtotal"> <?php $itemtotalprice = $rows['price'] * $qty; $itemtotal = number_format($itemtotalprice, 2, '.', ','); echo '£'; echo $itemtotal; $total += $rows['price'] * $qty; ?> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </li> <?php } } ?> </ul> </div> <?php } ?> Hi All I have my shopping cart working correctly, just a small tweak which i would like to make to it. Here is the code i currently use... Code: [Select] echo '<p>' . $fldname . ' <a href="cart.php?action=add&id=' . $row['idinfo'] .

It is a pay-per-view workout website. Basically, they want to let people find workout videos and pay on a per-day basis (1 day, 3 days, 7 days and depending on the video pricing will be different). I have set them up everything except I am having some difficulty with the shopping cart. I took the basics of the shopping cart script from a tutorial I found online and then modified it. The only problem is that most shopping carts send an action and a product id through the URL and into the session for the shopping cart. Well, I need to also send a price id variable so that the cart will know which price to use. This is because they want to offer pricing on a per-day basis. How would I modify the cart.php page to accomplish this? I have tried, but cannot get the entire thing to work. All help is appreciated. Below is my code: Code: [Select] <?php // if no session is set, initiate one if (!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } // see if the customer is logged in //if (!isset($_SESSION['customer_id'])) //{ //header("location:login.php"); //} // connect to the database require_once('connect.php'); // select the database mysql_select_db($database, $connect); // get the video information if (isset($_GET['video_id'])) { $video_id = $_GET['video_id']; } else { $video_id = 1; } // get the action if (isset($_GET['action'])) { $action = $_GET['action']; } else { $action = "empty"; } // get the video pricing information if (isset($_GET['price_id'])) { $price_id = $_GET['price_id']; } else { $price_id = ""; } // do the following code based on the action switch($action) { // if the action is add then add the product id to the cart session array case "add": if (isset($_SESSION['cart'][$video_id])) { $_SESSION['cart'][$video_id]++; } else { $_SESSION['cart'][$video_id] = 1; } break; // if the action is remove then remove the product id from the cart session array case "remove": if (isset($_SESSION['cart'][$video_id])) { $_SESSION['cart'][$video_id]--; if ($_SESSION['cart'][$video_id]==0) { unset($_SESSION['cart']); } } break; // if the action is empty then remove the cart session array completely case "empty": unset($_SESSION['cart']); break; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta name="Description" content="Information architecture, Web Design, Web Standards." /> <meta name="Keywords" content="your, keywords" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="layout.css" type="text/css" /> <title>Straight Muscle Videos...Pay-Per-View Alpha Male Muscle Worship Videos</title> </head> <body> <!--wrap starts here--> <div id="wrap"> <?php include('header.php'); ?> <?php include('menu.php'); ?> <!--content-wrap starts here--> <div id="content-wrap" class="two-col"> <?php include('sidebar.php'); ?> <!--main content starts here--> <div id="main"> <h1>Shopping Cart</h1> <br /> <?php if (isset($_SESSION['cart'])) { $total = 0; ?> <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <?php foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $video_id => $x) { $query = mysql_query("SELECT VideoId, VideoTitle, PriceId, PriceVideoId, PriceAmount, PriceTimeId, TimeId, TimeTitle, TimeLength FROM Video, Price, Time WHERE VideoId = $video_id AND PriceId = $price_id AND PriceVideoId = $video_id AND PriceTimeId = TimeId", $connect); $row = mysql_fetch_array($query); $video_name = $row['VideoTitle']; $order_length = $row['TimeTitle']; $video_price = $row['PriceAmount']; $line_cost = $video_price * $x; $total_cost = $total + $line_cost; ?> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle"><?php echo $video_name; ?></td> <td align="center" valign="middle"><?php echo $order_length; ?></td> <td align="center" valign="middle"><?php echo "$".$line_cost; ?></td> <td align="center" valign="middle"><a href="cart.php?action=remove&video_id=<?php echo $video_id; ?>&price_id=<?php echo $price_id; ?>">Remove</a></td> </tr> <?php } ?> <tr> <td colspan="4" bgcolor="#666666"><span class="shopping_cart">Purchase Total: $<?php echo $total_cost; ?></span></td> </tr> </table> <div align="center"> <form id="shopping_cart" method="post" action="confirm.php"> <input type="submit" name="place_order" id="place_order" value="Place Order" /> </form> </div> <div align="center"> <p><a href="search.php">Continue Shopping</a></p> <p><a href="cart.php?action=empty">Empty Cart</a></p> </div> <?php } else { echo "<br /><br /><div align='center'>There are no items in your cart.</div>"; } ?> <!--main content ends here--> </div> <!--content-wrap ends here--> </div> <?php include('footer.php'); ?> <!--wrap ends here--> </div> </body> </html> hi all i have a simple shopping cart up and runniing i just cannot think of how to remove all items within the cart i can do a remove one item easily but how woudl i remove all items inmy cart ? Would i delete the cookie id or ? I'm not a programmer but can get buy a little with PHP. My need is a "Shopping Cart" and this is what I would like to see.
I have a MotoCMS web site and would like to but a shopping cart in one page all I need is a "Buy Now" button that can hold the "Item Name" "Price" and "Quantity" and Maybe a selectable option? And a "Cart" for my PayPal that I can put anywhere on the page. If I have to use a database that is OK.
I can put the product pictures and info on the page and then a Buy Now link button would be great.
Does anyone know of a shopping cart that I can use to do this?

Edited by Lon, 28 September 2014 - 09:07 PM. Hi guys, I thought of creating a shopping cart in my website. I understand that shopping cart programme is all about $_SESSION or $_COOKIE, but I was just thinking, are there any books or websites which I can learn from? Would appreciate any advice. Thank you Wilson Greetings All, I am looking at creating an extremely simple shopping cart. I have already made the script that would allow me to add categories and products, along with displaying those categories and products. The script also allows me to edit/delete and add new categories and products. However, I would like visitors to be able to view products then add them to a virtual shopping cart. Once the product is stored in the shopping cart, he can then click checkout. My checkout is going to be a bit different. I do not allows users to sign in or register because we are only offering 10-20 products, however, when they add products to the shopping cart, it will be stored based on sessions that are logged by cookies. Now, when they click submit, it will ask them for their EMAIL, FULL NAME, TELEPHONE, and ADDRESS. Once they fill it in and submit, the products they choose and their information will be emailed as a purchase order to my email inbox. Can anyone guide me to a script that does this or help me make one? I am lost and need some urgent help. Thanks. I need a shopping cart that will allow me to restrict access to customers from certain countries. If the customer is from certain other countries they will be directed to contact an office in that country. Any suggestions? I am building a shopping cart with PHP and working with a tutorial (http://jameshamilton.eu/content/simple-php-shopping-cart-tutorial) I am putting together the cart and there is some coding $sql = sprintf("SELECT name, description, price FROM php_shop_products WHERE id = %d;", $product_id); That i do not understand. Here it is "WHERE id = %d;" I have never seen this before and am wondering what it means or how to work with this syntax Hi! I use the following PHP Session Shopping Cart (it's ready to use) Code: [Select] <? session_start(); function showCart() { $cart = $_SESSION['cart']; if ($cart) { $items = explode(',',$cart); $contents = array(); foreach ($items as $item) { $contents[$item] = (isset($contents[$item])) ? $contents[$item] + 1 : 1; } foreach ($contents as $id=>$qty) { $output[] = 'You have '.$qty.' items with ID: '.$id; } } else { $output[] = 'You don\'t have items in your cart'; } return join('',$output); } if(isset($_SESSION['cart'])) { $cart = $_SESSION['cart']; } else { $cart = 0; } if(isset($_GET['action'])) { $action = $_GET['action']; switch ($action) { case 'add': if ($cart) { $cart .= ','.$_GET['id']; } else { $cart = $_GET['id']; } break; case 'delete': if ($cart) { $items = explode(',',$cart); $newcart = ''; foreach ($items as $item) { if ($_GET['id'] != $item) { if ($newcart != '') { $newcart .= ','.$item; } else { $newcart = $item; } } } $cart = $newcart; } break; case 'update': if ($cart) { $newcart = ''; foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) { if (stristr($key,'qty')) { $id = str_replace('qty','',$key); $items = ($newcart != '') ? explode(',',$newcart) : explode(',',$cart); $newcart = ''; foreach ($items as $item) { if ($id != $item) { if ($newcart != '') { $newcart .= ','.$item; } else { $newcart = $item; } } } for ($i=1;$i<=$value;$i++) { if ($newcart != '') { $newcart .= ','.$id; } else { $newcart = $id; } } } } } $cart = $newcart; break; } } $_SESSION['cart'] = $cart; echo showCart(); echo '<br/>'; echo '<a href="?action=add&id=1">Add to Cart</a>'; ?> Example of usage: === <a href="cart.php?action=add&id=1">Add to Cart</a> // Adding a new product in the cart with ID 1 <a href="cart.php?action=delete&id=1">Delete from Cart</a> // Deleting a new product in the cart with ID 1 <a href="cart.php?action=update&id=1&qty=5">Update Quantity to 5</a> // Updating the quantity of product with ID 1 === Everything is fine, but now I want to add sizes, something like: cart.php?action=add&id=1&size=XXXL. For example, the case "add" can be done like that: Code: [Select] $cart = $_GET['id'].":".$_GET['size'];.. and then the products will be saved like 1:XXXL, but then the updating and deleting will not work .. Please help me, I'm very confused how this can be done For a project I have to create a simple form that allows a user to order a pair of trainers. I understand how to do as the project outlines, but would like to expand on it. Would it be possible for me to substitute a MySQL database for an array that contains an array of products. So that when the user makes an order, the quantity in the array is reduced. The array would look as follows: $prod = array( array( 'id' => '00001', 'name' => 'Pink Converse', 'desc' => 'This is the description of the product.', 'price' => 4500, 'quantity' => 2, 'img' => 'images/prod1.jpg', 'img2' => 'images/00001-2.jpg' ), array( 'id' => '00002', 'name' => 'Tartan Nike Hi-Tops', 'desc' => 'This is the description of the product.', 'price' => 5500, 'quantity' => 2, 'img' => 'images/prod2.jpg', 'img2' => 'images/00002-2.jpg' ), array( 'id' => '00003', 'name' => 'Black Hi-Tops', 'desc' => 'This is the description of the product.', 'price' => 5500, 'quantity' => 2, 'img' => 'images/prod3.jpg', 'img2' => 'images/00003-2.jpg' ), array( 'id' => '00004', 'name' => 'Smart Mens Shoes', 'desc' => 'This is the description of the product.', 'price' => 7000, 'quantity' => 2, 'img' => 'images/prod3.jpg', 'img2' => 'images/00004-2.jpg' ) ); If you know if this is possible or not, you would be a great help, any ideas would also be welcome.
