Just before the if() you need to end the line with a ;

 

Unless you are using shorthand you can't follow a string into an if() loop. So for example...

 

$content = '

<h2>Checkout</h2>';

if(isset($_SESSION['cart']))
   {
   
        $content.= '<form action="index.php?view=update_cart" method="post">.........

You are concatenating if's and foreaches into your code which is not proper syntax...in any language that I know. I would read up on proper syntax usage. In the mean time this is how it should look: (at least one way)

 

<?php

session_start();

include('../resources/config.php');
include($config["paths"]["resources"] . 'opendb.php');
include($config["paths"]["resources"] . '_library/login.php');
include($config["paths"]["resources"] . '_library/cart.php');

$content = '<h2>Checkout</h2>';
if(isset($_SESSION['cart'])) { 
$content .= '   <form action="index.php?view=update_cart" method="post">
<table id="items">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Item Price</th>
<th>Qty</th>
<th>Subtotal</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>';

foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $id => $qty){ // keep sytnax similar, use one or the other (the foreach () : endforeach / if : endif; or { } 
    $product = find_product($id); 
    $content .= '
	<tr>
		<td>'. $product['title'] .'</td>
		<td>$'. number_format($product['price'],2) .'</td>
		 <td><input type="text" size="2" name="'. $id .'" maxlength="2" value="'. $qty .'" /></td>
		<td>$'. number_format($product['price'] * $qty, 2) .'</td>
	</tr>';
}

$content .= '
</tbody>
</table>
<p><input type="submit" name="update" value="update" /></p>
</form>';
echo $content;
}else {
echo '<p>your cart is empty... <a href="index.php">continue shopping</a></p>'; 
} 

include($config["paths"]["resources"] . 'closedb.php'); 
?>

 

It seems like you were combining different syntax which I bet you picked up from some templates. Like I said, read up on proper syntax, look what I fixed and why it was that way.

 

Note that I changed the foreach () : to foreach () { since you are using if () { you should keep it similar so either change the if to use the endif; format like the endforeach;. It is better not to mix and match them as it causes confusion for some people.

[GetPutDelete]

You've kept the concatenation operators in (Period operator) when you should have removed them as the line had ended with a ;

 

Use the above example by premiso it's all done for you.
