xml_set_element_handler(&$this->parser, "tag_open", "tag_close");

should be:

xml_set_element_handler(&$this->parser, array(&$this, "tag_open"), array(&$this, "tag_close"));

same for:

xml_set_character_data_handler(&$this->parser, array(&$this, "cdata"));

Before you continue with your xml shopping cart or txt based shopping cart. Is the reason perhaps because you can't use a database such as MySQL or postgres? You might want to look at flatfile databases such as SQLite

TheJoey · August 27, 2009

well its just personal preferences i guess, and my hosting charge for database.

ignace · August 27, 2009

well its just personal preferences i guess, and my hosting charge for database.

They charge extra for a database? Damn find yourself a real host.

RichardRotterdam · August 27, 2009

I mentioned a flatfile database because it's just a file on your server. You shouldn't be charged extra for using a flatfile database if you're server supports it.

TheJoey · August 27, 2009

Yeh my provider are rubbish but ive got it now..

Thanks for the idea dj kat but ive already used some xml in my website already

ive baised the website around using .txt files.

im currently getting this website

And thanks for the quick reply's guys

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in C:\xampplite\htdocs\Shopping Cart xml\ShoppingCart.php on line 17

For this code

        xml_set_character_data_handler(&$this->parser, array(&this, "cdata"));

TheJoey · August 27, 2009

Ignore the above post i was missing the $

* Something old Add To Cart (items["1"])) print $mycart->items["1"]; ?>)

* Something new Add To Cart (items["2"])) print $mycart->items["2"]; ?>)

* Something borrowed Add To Cart (items["3"])) print $mycart->items["3"]; ?>)

* Something blue Add To Cart (items["4"])) print $mycart->items["4"]; ?>)

I think this is what is meant to be display but when i try clicking on the links i get nothing

TheJoey · August 28, 2009

Ok thanks for that.

Its now adding 1 to each item, how would i store this information for later use?

For like a checkout or order form.

would i need to use a session start

trq · August 28, 2009

how would i store this information for later use?

You need to write the xml to an xml file.

TheJoey · August 28, 2009

Can i do this threw fwrite or does it require something different?

do you have a tut?

trq · August 28, 2009

You can simply do it through fwrite or file_put_contents.

TheJoey · August 28, 2009

ok ill have a play around with it

ill keep you posted

thanks for your help

TheJoey · August 28, 2009
