that looks very good, however I need to store data in php not through a database. but thanks i'll look into it. please any more suggestions are welcome.

Hi guys, I'm new at PHP, and currently for university I am undertaking a project with the objective to create "An updateable shopping cart, using PHP sessions to store the cart." Obviously this is too much for anyone to just 'help' me do, so I was wondering whether anyone here could suggest a helpful guide that would help me to understand how to create this. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance. Edit: and yes sorry I forgot to mention I have been looking around on google but haven't found anything really helpful!

Can someone please expand on wildteen88's post, fixing it so it doesn't only produce $1.00 values for each meal. This is due in 30 minutes!

this almost worked. however every price value is $1.00, makes no sense! thanks heaps for help

Hi php freaks! My problem is I have this array here in menu-data.php: <?php $days = array(); function myarray() { global $days; $days = array ( "Monday"=>array ( "Chicken Burger"=>array("$5.00"), "Veal Schnitzel"=>array("$7.50"), "Onion Rings"=>array("$3.00"), "Hot Potato"=>array("$4.00") ), "Tuesday"=>array ( "Steak Sandwich"=>array("$10.00"), "Chicken Pasta"=>array("$4.50"), "Pork Chop"=>array("$6.50"), "Taco"=>array("$1.50") ), "Wednesday"=>array ( "Chicken and Chips"=>array("$5.00"), "Beef Casserole"=>array("$6.50"), "Sausage"=>array("$1.50"), "Lasagne"=>array("$3.50") ), "Thursday"=>array ( "Fish and Chips"=>array("$5.00"), "Tuna Pattie"=>array("$2.50"), "Chicko Roll"=>array("$2.80"), "Hot Dog"=>array("$3.00") ), "Friday"=>array ( "Nachos"=>array("$5.50"), "Salad Sandwich"=>array("$4.00"), "Macaroni Cheese"=>array("$3.50"), "Bacon and Eggs"=>array("$7.50") ) ); } ?> I then use this array to print out a menu in another web page called "print-menu.php" in the form of: Day 1: Meal 1 - Price Meal 2 - Price Meal 3 - Price etc.... Using this code: <?php include("menu-data.php"); myarray(); // Print menu. echo "<h1><u>Menu</u></h1>"; foreach ($days as $day => $meals) { echo "<li><b>" . $day . "</b><ul>"; foreach ($meals as $meal => $costs) { echo "<li>" . $meal . " "; foreach ($costs as $cost) { echo "- " . $cost . "</li>"; } } echo "</ul></li>"; } ?> <a href="enter.php">Place an order!</a> enter.php then brings up a series of radio buttons assigned to the values of the DAYS in the array. e.g. o Monday o Tuesday etc... Using this code: <?php session_start(); include("menu-data.php"); myarray(); echo "Please select the day you would like to eat:<br /><br />"; // Loop through and display each day as a radio button. foreach ($days as $day => $meals) { echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"day\" value=\"" . $day . "\">" . $day; echo "<br />"; } ?> They then pick their day they want to eat, now what I want to know is how I can use the day they choose, so when they submit it, the next page (select_meal.php) prints out just the menu for that day from the original array in the form of radio buttons, eg say they choose monday it will display: Monday o Chicken Burger $5.00 o Veal Schnitzel $7.50 o Onion Rings $3.00 o Hot Potato $4.00 where o = a radio button. I had this working with the array using the following code, however it now doesn't work anymore since I added prices to my array: <form action="order.php" method="post"> <?php session_start(); include("menu-data.php"); myarray(); $_SESSION['day'] = $_POST['day']; $_SESSION['time'] = $_POST['time']; $_SESSION['delivery'] = $_POST['delivery']; echo "<h3>Please select your meal for " . $_SESSION['day'] . ":</h3>"; $day = $_SESSION['day']; $dayMenu = $days[$day]; foreach ($dayMenu as $item): echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"meal\" value=\"" . $item . "\">" . $item . "<br />"; // outputs "Chicken Burger endforeach; echo "<br />"; ?> <input type="submit" value="Place order!" /> I know this must be alot to take in but I really need help it's summative and due very soon! If I haven't made much sense please tell me. Thanks everyone in advance.

Please any help would be great... :'(

Hey sorry I don't really know how to explain this but I will try most simply and best. Here is the problem: I have this array: $days = array ( "Monday"=>array ( "Chicken Burger"=>array("$5.00"), "Veal Schnitzel"=>array("$7.50"), "Onion Rings"=>array("$3.00"), "Hot Potato"=>array("$4.00") ), "Tuesday"=>array ( "Steak Sandwich"=>array("$10.00"), "Chicken Pasta"=>array("$4.50"), "Pork Chop"=>array("$6.50"), "Taco"=>array("$1.50") ), "Wednesday"=>array ( "Chicken and Chips"=>array("$5.00"), "Beef Casserole"=>array("$6.50"), "Sausage"=>array("$1.50"), "Lasagne"=>array("$3.50") ), "Thursday"=>array ( "Fish and Chips"=>array("$5.00"), "Tuna Pattie"=>array("$2.50"), "Chicko Roll"=>array("$2.80"), "Hot Dog"=>array("$3.00") ), "Friday"=>array ( "Nachos"=>array("$5.50"), "Salad Sandwich"=>array("$4.00"), "Macaroni Cheese"=>array("$3.50"), "Bacon and Eggs"=>array("$7.50") ) ); The user then selects their day, it then goes to another page and prints out all the menu for that DAY in the form of radio buttons. I had this working, UNTIL, I had to add another array for prices. The previous code worked like this: echo "<h3>Please select your meal for " . $_SESSION['day'] . ":</h3>"; $day = $_SESSION['day']; $dayMenu = $days[$day]; foreach ($dayMenu as $item): echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"meal\" value=\"" . $item . "\">" . $item . "<br />"; endforeach; Can anyone tell me the code which will print out all the menu and prices for a day a user selects, you can use the example above and modify it I would think would be easiest. Thanks very much. EDIT: I realised i haven't made much sense. I will need a series of radio buttons like this for example: Monday o Chicken Burger - $5.00 o Veal Schnitzel - $7.50 o Onion Rings - $3.00 o Hot Potato - $4.00 where o = a radio button!

Hi sorry for another topic, just in dire help. Here is my array stored in menu_data.php: <?php $days = array(); function myarray() { global $days; $days = array ( "Monday"=>array ( "Chicken Burger", "Veal Schnitzel", "Onion Rings", "Hot Potato" ), "Tuesday"=>array ( "Steak Sandwich", "Chicken Pasta", "Pork Chop", "Taco" ), "Wednesday"=>array ( "Chicken and Chips", "Beef Casserole", "Pasta", "Lasagne" ), "Thursday"=>array ( "Fish and Chips", "Tuna Pattie", "Chicko Roll", "Hot Dog" ), "Friday"=>array ( "Nachos", "Tuna Pattie", "Maccaroni Cheese", "Bacon and Eggs" ) ); } ?> and I use this array to print a menu from it on print_menu.php: <?php include("menu-data.php"); myarray(); // Print menu. echo "<h1><u>Menu</u></h1>"; foreach ($days as $day => $meals) { echo "<li><b>" . $day . "</b><ul>"; foreach ($meals as $meal) { echo "<li>" . $meal . "</li>"; } echo "</ul></li>"; } ?> This is for a university assignment, now all of a sudden they've gone: So basically I need to print out a menu, that displays the day, then under that, the menu for that day as well as how much each order costs. I am really confused working with more then 2 arrays in one. Can anyone please help in doing this. Thank you very much.

Oh I got it working, thank you very much!

Thank you. But does this work for forms? Should I do this on the post page of the form: $_SESSION['day'] = $_POST['day']; $_SESSION['time'] = $_POST['time']; $_SESSION['delivery'] = $_POST['delivery'];

Hi can someone simply explain how I can use hidden form elements so I can keep variables for later on. For example: Web Page 1 (Has the forms) --> Web Page 2 (gets $_POST) --> Web Page 3 now has lost all the post data from page 2, how do I keep it so I can re-use it? I'm new at php and any help would be appreciated, preferrably simple methods! Thanks heaps in advance!

And your last response, sorry, is what I need to do after the stuff I posted above!

This is the part I'm currently working on taken from my assignment, this is obviously the best way I can explain what I need to do to you:

Ok I'll print out everything I have: menu-data.php (functions): <?php function my_array() { $days = array ( "Monday"=>array ( "Chicken Burger", "Veal Schnitzel", "Onion Rings", "Hot Potato" ), "Tuesday"=>array ( "Steak Sandwich", "Chicken Pasta", "Pork Chops", "Taco's" ), "Wednesday"=>array ( "Chicken and Chips", "Beef Casserole", "Meatballs", "Lasagne" ), "Thursday"=>array ( "Fish and Chips", "Tuna Pattie", "Chicko Roll", "Hot Dog" ), "Friday"=>array ( "Nachos", "Tuna Patties", "Maccaroni Cheese", "Bacon and Eggs" ) ); $return implode(",", $myarray); } ?> enter.php (the form): <?php include_once("menu-data.php"); $array = my_array(); $days = $array[0]; // Loop through and display each day as a radio button. foreach ($days as $day => $meals) { echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"day\" value=\"" . $day . "\">" . $day; echo "<br />"; } ?> This doesn't work, and what further complicates things is that I need another page that again uses the array stored in the menu-data.php from before but prints everything out like this: <?php echo "<h1><u>Menu</u></h1>"; foreach ($days as $day => $meals) { echo "<li><b>" . $day . "</b><ul>"; foreach ($meals as $meal) { echo "<li>" . $meal . "</li>"; } echo "</ul></li>"; } ?> This prints out: - Day - Meal 1 - Meal 2 etc...

Hmm... see that doesn't work because my next line of code in using your example "show-it.php" is: foreach ($days as $day => $meals) { echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"day\" value=\"" . $day . "\">" . $day; echo "<br />"; } Which loops through my multidimensional array and spits out a radio button for each main day, so people can choose which day they want to dine.
