    [SOLVED] How to see if product is already in basket session... soo stuck!!

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi Guys!

     

    i've fixed it, but in a round-about way...

     

    firstly i created a session for the product id when adding to the basket

     

    e.g. $_SESSION['id'.$product_id] ;

     

    i then loop through the products looking to see if the session for the product_id has been set. if not it's not in the basket.

     

    when emptying the basket i simple clear all session as i'm not holding any customer login info.

     

    Thanks for all the help, and i'm sure there's a better way, but this works!

     

    hope that all made sense,

     

    Thanks again!

    Hi guys,

     

    thanks for the reply

     

    ok so i add/remove from the session using a link like:

     

    <a href="add_list.php?action=add&id='.$prod_id.'"><img src="images/list.jpg" border="0" alt="Add to Shopping List"></a>

     

    as the $prod_id is set before in the while loop pulling all the products.

     

    the add/remove code is:

     

    <?php 

session_start();

//add item to shopping list
if ($action == "add") {
$_SESSION['sh'][$product_id]++;

}

//remove item
else if ($action == "remove") {
$_SESSION['sh'][$product_id]--;

}

//empty baasket
else if ($action = "empty") {
unset($_SESSION['sh']) ;

}

//if zero clear
if($_SESSION['sh'][$product_id] == 0) {	
unset($_SESSION['sh'][$product_id]) ; }
?>

     

    So what i need to do when pulling all the products, is see if the product ID is in the session. if it is then just leave out the add to basket button.

     

    Cheers

    Hi Guys,

     

    really stuck with this one and was hoping someone on here could help?

     

    been all over google and can't find the answer...

     

    I'm using a session to hold products id when added to the shopping basket.

     

    problem is i don't know how to tell if they have already been added.

     

    on the sales page of the website i loop through all the products in the database, pulling all the relevant details, as well as adding an add to cart button if the product has not been sold. this disapears if the product is sold.

     

    as they only sell single items i would also like to exclude the "add to basket" button when the item has been added.

     

    Therefore does anyone know a way of checking if the item is already in the session as i loop through to pull the products?

     

    hope that makes sense...!

     

    thanks in advance!

     

    As the site only sells single products

     

    Content management problem... any ideas?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Good evening!

     

    I've created a content mangement system for my website.

     

    This allows me to change all the text from the backend using a rich text editor.

     

    The code inserts the formatted text into a MySQL table with all the HTML tags,

     

    I then echo this on the front end.

     

    Problem is, on some pages i need to use data either posted from a form, or pulled from a different table. i.e. a name attached to the users login via email.

     

    so to pull out the content i'm using:

     

    simplfied...

    <?php

$con = mysql_connect($host, $db, $pass) or die ("Apologies we are experiencing technical difficulties") ;

mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Apologies we are experiencing technical difficulties") ;
		   
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE page = x") ;

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

$content = $row['text'] ;

}

echo $content ; 

?>

     

    however if i was echoing this manually i might put:

    <?php

echo "Hello ".$full_name.", Welcome to my website..." ;

?>

     

    So my question is... is there a way to input variables into the rich text editor so that they display a result on the front end..?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Redirect by HTTP_REFERER

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    wondering if anyone could help me out with this...?

     

    I have a member area (amongst others) that require login to access.

     

    thing is if you are not logged in it bounces you back to the login page

     

    when the user logs in i would then like to take them back to where they were trying to get to

     

    i'm using the header function but can't seem to get it to work with $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

     

    could anyone tell me if this is possible and if so how?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    [SOLVED] Customer Font Styling - Backend CMS - Help

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    I'm creating a blank site, that can be populated from a CMS on the backend

     

    What i'd like is a script to let the user style their input text and then display it the same on the front end...

     

    A bit like you can do on the input here but without displaying the tags

     

    I've searched the net but cannot find anything!

     

    And i'm not sure what you'd call it....??

     

    Could someone please point me to a tutorial, or download?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Javascript:

    //** Chrome Drop Down Menu- Author: Dynamic Drive (http://www.dynamicdrive.com)

//** Updated: July 14th 06' to v2.0
//1) Ability to "left", "center", or "right" align the menu items easily, just by modifying the CSS property "text-align".
//2) Added an optional "swipe down" transitional effect for revealing the drop down menus.
//3) Support for multiple Chrome menus on the same page.

//** Updated: Nov 14th 06' to v2.01- added iframe shim technique

//** Updated: July 23rd, 08 to v2.4
//1) Main menu items now remain "selected" (CSS class "selected" applied) when user moves mouse into corresponding drop down menu. 
//2) Adds ability to specify arbitrary HTML that gets added to the end of each menu item that carries a drop down menu (ie: a down arrow image).
//3) All event handlers added to the menu are now unobstrusive, allowing you to define your own "onmouseover" or "onclick" events on the menu items.
//4) Fixed elusive JS error in FF that sometimes occurs when mouse quickly moves between main menu items and drop down menus

//** Updated: Oct 29th, 08 to v2.5 (only .js file modified from v2.4)
//1) Added ability to customize reveal animation speed (# of steps)
//2) Menu now works in IE8 beta2 (a valid doctype at the top of the page is required)

    CSS mouse over menu, doesn't work in I.E

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    Not sure if you can help me, but this forum has been so good that i'd thought i'd ask...

     

    this is to be part of a php website and the categories will eventually be pulled from MySQL but i've never done it before and i'm just playing...

     

    Thing is i've created a mouse over CSS menu that i've edited from a online tutorial, can't remember where, and it all good on Firefox, but just doesn't work on I.E!!

     

    i'd really appreciate it if someone could help me, or if anyone could give some advice if they've had this problem before...

    Sending Text and HTML emails at the same time...

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    I'm having some issues with this as, to be honest, i don't get it.....  :D

     

    what i'd like to do is send an HTML email to the customer, when the do certain things, but as some mail boxes don't like HTML emails i realised that i'd also have to send a text version..

     

    rather than having a tick box or something to choose, i've read that you can send them both at once using a multipart form...

     

    however, i can't get it to work...

     

    here's what i have so far:

     

    <?php

// multiple recipients
$to  = 'me@mymail.com' . ', '; // note the comma
$to .= 'someone@theirmail.com';

$boundary = "nextPart";

$headers = "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary = $boundary\r\n";

// subject
$subject = 'Testing an HTML/Text email';

//Text Version

$headers .= "\n--$boundary\n"; // beginning \n added to separate previous content
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
//$headers .= "Text only..., will it work...?";

$message = 'Text only..., will it work...?' ;

//HTML Version

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers .= "\n--$boundary--\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Me <me@mymail.com>, Someone Else <someone@theirmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Add Some Music <no-reply@addsomemusic.co.uk>' . "\r\n";

// message
$message = '

<html>
<head>
  <title>Test an HTML email</title>
</head>
<body>

<p><img src="http://www.addsomemusic.co.uk/images/ASM_Logo.jpg" width="150"></p>

<p>Some Text.....</p>

</body>
</html>

';

// Mail it
$mail_sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

?>

     

    could anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong...?

     

    Thanks in advance!
