Since my deadline is tomorrow, I just decided to create a new table called cart2. In it, I store the prod_id, username, title, and price of products. The "buy now" buttons send the information to the table, then my cart.php page pulls that information to display it. So in a sense, my problem is solved. But in reality, it isn't because there are security issues with my new method. I would like to hear if there are any solutions to my original problem. Thanks all for your help!!

Here's what I have to do: [*]Gather all products (including description, price, everything in the rows) [*]Output the products in a table to display in the cart [*]Add up the total You can have a go at the application by going to http://devowe.com/sessions/php/ex6/login/ and logging in with 'asdfasdf' as the username and password. Thank you so much! PS - my deadline is tomorrow, so I have to keep banging away at this - I really, really appreciate all your help!! PPS - attached are the table definitions...let me know if that is what you wanted. [attachment deleted by admin]

cart_id is the user's session_id dynamically created when the user logs in (you know that already). temp_cart_item, however, is the unique primary key in the table to distinguish between duplicate items the user has added to their cart. Does that make sense? So what I'm doing is trying to match the prod_id's in the product table with the prod_id's in the cart table WHERE the user's session (cart_id) is equal to the current user's session. Thanks so much for the replies so far, but I'm still stuck

Keith, I'm having problems. Your SQL statement selects all the columns that exist in the products table, but not in the cart table (category, sub_category, thumb_href, image_href, etc.). I'm very much a beginner with SQL queries. I have modified the query, but it's not working.. SELECT category, sub_category, thumb_href, image_href, title, desc, summary, manufacturer, COUNT(*) AS ProdCount, SUM(price) AS PriceOfUnits FROM products INNER JOIN cart ON cart.prod_id = products.prod_id WHERE cart_id='$cart_id' GROUP BY category, sub_category, thumb_href, image_href, title, desc, summary, manufacturer

You guys are amazing! Thanks so much for the quick replies!! Keith - I'll try your code now..

I'm not sure what you mean... Do you mean in the while statement?

I have a cart script, and I need to display the products the user has added. This is a school assignment and I'm very stuck on this seemingly 'little' error. Right now, I have two tables: For time's sake, I am showing duplicate products with different prod_id's: Table: products prod_idcategorysub_categorythumb_hrefimage_hreftitledescsummarymanufacturerprice 17sofaleatherred_leather_sofa_small.jpgred_leather_sofa_main.jpgRed Leather Sofa[bLOB - 134B][bLOB - 59B]Balenty999.99 18sofaleatherred_leather_sofa_small.jpgred_leather_sofa_main.jpgRed Leather Sofa[bLOB - 134B][bLOB - 59B]Balenty999.99 19sofaleatherred_leather_sofa_small.jpgred_leather_sofa_main.jpgRed Leather Sofa[bLOB - 134B][bLOB - 59B]Balenty999.99 And this is the cart table that holds temporary cart items (storing the product ID to pull later): Table: cart temp_cart_itemcart_id (assigned by session_id() )prod_iduser_id 22jier11u0e7cl2ghosjodpaark217asdfasdf 23jier11u0e7cl2ghosjodpaark217asdfasdf 24jier11u0e7cl2ghosjodpaark235asdfasdf 25jier11u0e7cl2ghosjodpaark25asdfasdf 26jier11u0e7cl2ghosjodpaark219asdfasdf SO, user 'asdfasdf' is logged in and has selected 5 items for his cart - two of which are the same (prod_id 17). Basically, I need to compare the prod_id's of each table and output all products (and quantities) matching the temporary cart prod_id. What I have now to loop through and display the cart items are (bear with me): echo "<h1>Cart</h1>"; } // Display welcome and navigation links displayWelcome(); displayNav(); // Getting the prod_id's from the table cart to compare with the product table $cart_id = session_id(); $user_id = ($_SESSION['login_username']); $query = "SELECT prod_id FROM cart WHERE cart_id='$cart_id' AND user_id='$user_id'"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query) or die("<h2 class=\"warning\">Whoa! Problem with the cart script here!</h2>"); $nrows = mysqli_num_rows($result); if($nrows < 1) { echo "<h2>Your cart is empty</h2><p><a href=\"catalog.php\">Go back to the catalog</a></p>"; } else { // Continue to gather products for all the product IDs in the products DB table... echo "<h4>$nrows items in your cart</h4>"; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array( $result )) { $user_id = ($_SESSION['login_username']); $product = $row['prod_id']; // Is the query my problem? $query = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE prod_id='$product'"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query) or die("<h2 class=\"warning\">Whoa! Problem with the cart script here!</h2>"); $nrows = mysqli_num_rows($result); if($nrows < 1) { // If the item doesn't exist, display an error echo "<h2>That is not a valid product, or any of the items you had in your cart are missing or have been deleted.</h2><p><a href=\"catalog.php\">Go back to the catalog</a></p>"; // Protect from continually displaying an error by deleting the invalid cart record $deletequery = "DELETE FROM cart WHERE prod_id='$product'"; $deleteresult = mysqli_query($cxn,$deletequery) or die("<h2 class=\"warning\">Whoa! Problem with the cart script here!</h2>"); exit(); } while($row = mysqli_fetch_array( $result )) { // Then disply them in a table echo "<h2>Items in Your Cart:</h2>"; echo " <table id=\"products\"> <thead> <tr> <th class=\"col1 headercol\" scope=\"col\">Thumbnail</th> <th class=\"col2 headercol\" scope=\"col\">Summary</th> <th class=\"col3 headercol\" scope=\"col\">Manufacturer</th> <th class=\"col4 headercol\" scope=\"col\">Price</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody>\n"; $query = "SELECT SUM(price) FROM products WHERE prod_id='$product' GROUP BY price"; $priceResult = mysqli_query($cxn,$query) or die("<h2 class=\"warning\">Whoa!

And the price is not accurate, either. Can anyone help me in where my problem might be? Is it my query? Or my while clause?

Yes, I keep searching everywhere here on this forum and all over the net but I can't seem to get this code to work: RewriteRule ^/calendar/detail\.php?id=([0-9]+)$ /course/$1 [NC,L] I need www.domain.com/calendar/detail.php?id=80 to redirect to www.domain.com/course/80. In the future, more of those "id's" will be changed to words in the database to improve SEO (for instance: id?=this-is-the-course-title). But all I want is something like /course/this-is-the-course-title/, not /calendar/detail.php?id=this-is-the-course-title/. So, how can I get that dynamic page to display the static page AND redirect old pages (i.e. calendar/detail.php?id=80) to their new locations (i.e. course/this-is-the-new-course-title/)? Greatly appreciate the help as I'm been at this for many hours. :-\

Yes, I believe so. I tried enabling openssl, but it's still not working. Thank you for your replies...please keep asking questions, as I'm very new to PHP and I don't know a ton about it...

Hi all...I'm new here - don't know if this is the right place for my question. I get a 503 SMTP error when I try to send an email from a simple form on my local Vista machine. I've tried an email address from my own domain, gmail, hotmail, and yahoo. Here's the error: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. k14sm6838908waf.23 What's the deal? I'm going through a PHP book, and it doesn't cover any error troubleshooting. I've tried everything it seems - from IIS settings to SMTP settings on my local machine to the PHP.ini. Thanks so much.
