$checkoutBtn .= '<form action="checkout.php" method="POST" id="checkform">
        <input type="hidden" name="item_name_' . $x . '" value="' . $eventname . '">
        <input type="hidden" name="amount_' . $x . '" value="' . $studentsprice . '">
        <input type="hidden" name="quantity_' . $x . '" value="' . $each_item['quantity'] . '">;[
        <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="' . $product_id_array . '">
        <input type="submit" class="checkoutbtn" name="checkoutbtn" value="CHECKOUT" />
</form>';

I think it's with POST or GET just like a regular variable.

i tryed it but notinh happens

i tryed it but notinh happens

you retrieve it like you would a normal input field.

Put this at the top of the script that does the processing and see what the values are in the $_POST array after the form has been submitted.

 

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';

ok i got some value so would i just do this

 

to call them out

 

$_POST = ['item_name_' . $x . ''];

[AyKay47]

$item = $_POST['item_name'];

It appears that you are looping this,

so yes, you would use

 

$_POST = ['item_name_' . $x];

etc.

 

You don't need the

."

at the end.

 

[ecabrera]

 

$_POST = ['item_name_' $x];

 

and

 

$item = $_POST['item_name'];

 

does not work i try both and they didnt show up

[AyKay47]

post the relevant form handling code.

[ecabrera]

what do you mean

[nine7ySix]

I'm not exactly sure, but you might want to store

$x

in a hidden input and get the value of

$x

in checkout.php.

 

Because right now,

$_POST = ['item_name_' . $x . ''];

which I presume is on checkout.php, is meaningless without the

$x

value.

[ecabrera]

X is the the quannty

[nine7ySix]

Why are you saving the in quantity as the name of an input?

Why can't you save the quantity as a separate input, in that case, you don't have to worry about $_POST['item_name_'.$x] not working.

It would be a lot easier to understand the situation if you posted all of your code here.

Checkouy button is where my code is at

 

<?php 
// render the cart for the user to view on the page)
$cartOutput = "";
$cartoutput = "";
$cartTotal = "";
$checkoutBtn = '';
$product_id_array = '';
if (!isset($_SESSION["cart"]) || count($_SESSION["cart"]) < 1) {
    $cartoutput = "<h2 align='center'>Your shopping cart is empty</h2>";
} else {

     //start the form here to get some data form the other varablie
    $checkoutBtn .= '<form action="checkout.php" method="POST" id="checkform">';
    
// Start the For Each loop
$i = 0; 
    foreach ($_SESSION["cart"] as $each_item) { 
	$item_id = $each_item['item_id'];
	$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events WHERE id='$item_id' LIMIT 1");
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
		$eventname = $row["eventname"];
		$eventinfo = $row["eventinfo"];
		$studentsprice = $row["studentsprice"];
		$category = $row["category"];

	}
	//steeing the money function to make it look like money haha
	$pricetotal  = $studentsprice * $each_item['quantity'];
	$cartTotal = $pricetotal  + $cartTotal;
	setlocale(LC_MONETARY, "en_US");
        $pricetotal  = money_format("%10.2n", $pricetotal );
        
        //checotut
$x = $i + 1;
$checkoutBtn .= '<input type="hidden" name="item_name_' . $x . '" value="' . $eventname . '">
        <input type="hidden" name="amount_' . $x . '" value="' . $studentsprice . '">

	// Create the product array variable
	$product_id_array .= "$item_id-".$each_item['quantity'].","; 
	// Dynamic table row assembly
	$cartOutput .= "<tr>";
        $cartOutput .= '<td>' . $eventname . '</td>';

	$cartOutput .= '</tr>';
	$i++; 
    } 
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, "en_US");
        $cartTotal = money_format("%10.2n", $cartTotal);
$cartTotal = "<div class='total'>Cart Total : ".$cartTotal." USD</div> ";

//making it finish 
	$checkoutBtn .= '<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="' . $product_id_array . '">
