Getting the quantity in shopping cart

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

im using this piece of code for the products on my e-commerce site:

 

  $display_box = "<div align=\"center\" id=\"right\">\n";
$display_box .= "<div class=\"boxtop\"></div>\n";
$display_box .= "<div class=\"box\">\n";
$display_box .= "<p><img src=\"images/image.gif\" alt=\"Product Image\" title=\"Product Image\" class=\"image\" /><b>$product_name</b><br /><br />consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis.<br /></p>";
$display_box .= "<div class=\"buttons\"><br /><a href=\"shoppingcart.php?productid=$productid\"><img src=\"images/cart_navy.gif\" border=\"0\"></a><br /><br /><b>Quantity:</b> ";
$display_box .= "<select name=\"quantity\"><option value=\"1\">1</option><option value=\"2\">2</option><option value=\"3\">3</option>";
$display_box .= "</select></div>\n";
$display_box .= "</div>\n";

 

i can pass through the product id fine by just GET on the next page but im not sure how to grab the quantitly and pass it through any ideas would be great

 

<a href=\"shoppingcart.php?productid=$productid\">

 

cheers

Did u build this shopping cart?

 

Get isn't a great method to do things only cause users like to hit refesh a lot.  I'd try an ajax or post version maybe.

Hi Guys,

 

yep i'm trying to build it lol, so do you think i should just have hidden fields with the product id in them?

 

cheers

well I mean if your doing it yourself I'd recommend ajax based its a lot cleaner. 

 

Also OOP is great for a shopping cart
