adding form values

[solhunter]

Hello,

 

Im not that good at php, and i've been working on this for a while and can't seem to get it going. I have one file with form checkboxes created;

 

<form action="shop.php" method="post">

 

item 1

<input type = "checkbox" name = "item[]" value = 199.99>

 

item 2

<input type = "checkbox" name = "item[]" value = 20.99>

 

item 3

<input type = "checkbox" name = "item[]" value = 94.99>

 

 

Now I need to make another page that acts like a shopping cart and add's the values above that are selected. I've tried using;

 

<?php

  if( isset($_POST["item"])  ) {

foreach ($_POST["item"] as $element) {

  echo "$element";

}

  }else{

echo "No values checked<br>";

  }

?>

 

but I cant get them to add, can anyone please help?

You can try something like this.

while(list($key,$val)=@each($_POST['item']))
{
echo $val;
}

you can try something like this

 

$intTotal = array_sum($_POST['item']);
