[SOLVED] Shooping Cart Issues

[pwes24]

Hello everyone,

 

I have two questions:

1. How can I add up the products in a shoppingcart and display the total;

2. How can I display products side by side as opposed to one after the other vertically?

 

Thank you!

I can query and display using mysql, but its comes out one row after another going down. How can I display like three rows deside each other, like diplaying clothes?

It depends how you're storing the information on the products in the shopping cart. If you're using a database, then perhaps you could store all the prices in an array then use 'array_sum' to get the total. Something like

 

<?php

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM myTable';

$result = mysql_query( $sql );

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
{
  $price[] = $row['product_price'];
}

$total_price = array_sum( $price );

?>

 

As for your second question, the user above suggested HTML tables:

 

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<?php while ( $row = ..... ) : ?>
<td><?php echo $row['product_name']; ?></td>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</tr>
</table>
