Simple Answer, I'm A Tard - Form Submission Problem

samjslater · November 26, 2012

I've spent nearly 5 hours trying to word out why the form won't pass the correct price to the shopping cart after seeing if the Discount code (yes it's SANTA101) is correct.

I can make all the correct calculations happen on the first page, but it won't send the right info to the shopping cart. i'm tired, and my client is pissed. Any help and i'll send you a mince pie. Hell, i'll bake Santa.

Thanks in advance.

Sam

p.s. I've deleted anything long and unnecessary.

<?php 




if($_GET['product'] == 1){ 
$productNAME = "Limited Edition"; 
$productDESCRIPTION = "Self Assembly Gifts: Limited edition bauble in display box."; 
$productPRICE = "14.99";
$productDISCOUNT = "10.99";
}




if($_GET['product'] == 2){ 
$productNAME = "Standard Edition"; 
$productDESCRIPTION = "Self Assembly Gifts: Standard edition bauble."; 
$productPRICE = "6.99";
$productDISCOUNT = "5.99";
}
?>

This is still WAAY too much code.

Stop using short tags. That's probably your problem.

samjslater · November 26, 2012

What do you mean by short tags? as in

"<?"

Jessica · November 26, 2012

Yes.

Jessica · November 26, 2012

Oh, also your form is method=POST and you're checking $_GET.

samjslater · November 26, 2012

ok, this is the functional bits (assuming the 'productID' var is set in the link)

<?php 

if($_GET['product'] == 1){ 
$productNAME = "Limited Edition"; 
$productDESCRIPTION = "Self Assembly Gifts: Limited edition bauble in display box."; 
$productPRICE = "14.99";
$productDISCOUNT = "10.99";
}

if($_GET['product'] == 2){ 
$productNAME = "Standard Edition"; 
$productDESCRIPTION = "Self Assembly Gifts: Standard edition bauble."; 
$productPRICE = "6.99";
$productDISCOUNT = "5.99";
}
?>



         <form action="http://ww7.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">
           <input name="userid" type="hidden" value="94285118" />
           <input name="product" type="hidden" value="<? echo $productNAME; ?>" />
           <input name="qty" type="hidden" value="<? echo $qty; ?>" />
           <input type="hidden" name="gift_amount" value="<? if($_GET['promo'] == "SANTA101"){ echo "4"; } else { echo "0"; } ?>" />
           <input name="price" type="hidden" value="<? if($_GET['promo'] = "SANTA101"){ echo $productDISCOUNT; } else { echo $productPRICE; } ?>" />
           <input name="return" type="hidden" value="http://selfassemblygifts.com/shop.php" />
               <?
if(isset($_GET['product'])){ echo $productDESCRIPTION; } else { echo "Start at A: GIFTS"; }
?>
               <input name="qty" type="text" size="5" maxlength="3" />
               <input name="promo" type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" />
               <input type="image" name="button" src="images/layout/cart.gif" style="margin-left: -50px;" />
         </form>

Jessica · November 26, 2012

So your URL looks like

page.php?product=1&promo=SANTA101

right?

What does the source of the page look like when you view it in the browser?

Edited November 26, 2012 by Jessica

samjslater · November 26, 2012

And yes, I'm checking GET because the productID is set on the first page, however I want to parse the information relating to the GET variable onto the shopping cart in POST (so it cant be edited).

Why am I such a tard? Can't do this. Must practice.

Jessica · November 26, 2012

POST can most definitely be edited. Very easily.

samjslater · November 26, 2012

antibang.com/selfassemblygifts/form.php

When you click on an item in section A, you load a set of pictures and variables which can then be sent to a shopping cart (section c). The only problem that is occuring is when the form is submitted it doesn't detect if SANTA101 exists in the "discount code", it just rolls on ahead and uses the default price.

I want it to see if the discount code is correct, amend the price, and THEN go to the shopping cart.

Any clues?

thanks alot for your help. Much appreciated. x

Muddy_Funster · November 26, 2012

if($_GET['promo'] = "SANTA101")

that's the wrong opperator for a comparison, It's maybe not the actual problem, but it's sure gonna be one if it isn't.

Jessica · November 26, 2012

The URL that it submits to does NOT contain any vars in the query string, so $_GET is not the right thing to use. check if $_POST is set.

samjslater · November 27, 2012

Right, so i've sorted many many things. Thank you so much for your help.

The last thing I can't do is get a redirect to send this collected form information at the top of the page, to the specified location in the top of the form (ocho'd a few lines down).

Thoughts?

if($_GET['productID'] == 1){ 
$productNAME = "Limited Edition"; 
$productDESCRIPTION = "Self Assembly Gifts: Limited edition bauble in display box."; 
$productPRICE = "14.99";
$productDISCOUNT = "10.99";

$qty = $_POST['qty'];

if($_POST['promo'] == "SANTA101"){ $value = $productDISCOUNT; } else { $value = $productPRICE; } 


if($_POST['action'] == "Submit Form"){

echo '
<form action="http://ww7.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">
           <input name="userid" type="hidden" value="94285118" />
           <input name="product" type="hidden" value="'.$productNAME.'" />
           <input name="productID" type="hidden" value="'. $_GET['productID'].'" />
           <input name="qty" type="hidden" value="'.$qty.'" />
           <input name="price" type="hidden" value="'.$value.'" />
</form>
';
exit;
}

Muddy_Funster · November 27, 2012

what's actualy in $_POST['action'] ?

samjslater · November 27, 2012

I'm using an image to submit the form, so i have a hidden input called 'action' which I use to trigger that variable at the top. It does work because I can see the form information in the source when I submit the form.

The variables seem to have to be collected at the top of the page, and then, once collected they're sent to the cart. I just cant get them to send.

What is the simplest way to send this all the form information to: http://ww7.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm

Thanks.

mrMarcus · November 27, 2012

When I submit the form on your site I receive the following on the next page:

Price = 
Promo = SANTA101
Product ID = 2

mrMarcus · November 27, 2012

http://antibang.com/...ID=2#ad-image-0

I do not see where you have the following form on that page:

<form action="http://ww7.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">
<input name="userid" type="hidden" value="94285118" />
<input name="product" type="hidden" value="'.$productNAME.'" />
<input name="productID" type="hidden" value="'. $_GET['productID'].'" />
<input name="qty" type="hidden" value="'.$qty.'" />
<input name="price" type="hidden" value="'.$value.'" />
</form>

Edited November 27, 2012 by mrMarcus

samjslater · November 27, 2012

Sorry mrMarcus. There's been a cock up. Here is it as clearly as possible:

http://antibang.com/selfassemblygifts/shop.php?productID=2#ad-image-0

Submit the form with the code: SANTA101 in the discount box.

Once the form is submitted, view source on the page and:

<form action="http://ww7.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">
<input name="userid" type="hidden" value="94285118" />
<input name="product" type="hidden" value="'.$productNAME.'" />
<input name="productID" type="hidden" value="'. $_GET['productID'].'" />
<input name="qty" type="hidden" value="'.$qty.'" />
<input name="price" type="hidden" value="'.$value.'" />
</form>

Will be at the top.

How do I get that info to pass to the http:// at the top of the form?

mrMarcus · November 27, 2012

Do you know how HTML forms work?

You have that form stuck up at the top of the page (above the DOCTYPE), and without a button to call the form to action.

mrMarcus · November 27, 2012

When the user clicks the "Go to cart" button, you should then swap out the current form with the payment form:

<form action="http://ww7.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">
   <input name="userid" type="hidden" value="94285118" />
   <input name="product" type="hidden" value="Standard Edition" />
   <input name="productID" type="hidden" value="2" />
   <input name="qty" type="hidden" value="1" />
   <input name="price" type="hidden" value="5.99" />
</form>

And replace the "Go to cart" button with something like "Checkout »" with details of their pending purchase in place of the Quantity/Promo boxes.

This is just a quick, easy fix. I don't like the process design of your cart IMO.

I would also recommend auto-populating the Quantity input box with 1 as the customer will always purchase at least 1 of something.

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

:| check

Muddy_Funster · November 27, 2012

you may want to edit that last echo there....

Iluvatar+ · November 27, 2012

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

:| check

mrMarcus · November 27, 2012

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

:| check

Proper communication goes a long way. I have know idea what you're talking about. We have now just wasted time while I wait for proper reply from you.

Iluvatar+ · November 27, 2012

Well i apologise for my lack of response. From my observation it seems there was confusion between $_GET and $_POST.
