poolhustler86 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I am only just starting to get into php... and found this table i like on a major companies website (http://www.signet.net.au/Catalogue/browse.aspx?sid=586) basically i would like to know how they create this dynmaicly only the data table..where the prices are located. i have my ideas on how it would be created.. each in a single row in a database grouped up with a product... but i have no idea how to make sure i have the right qty when the user enters a qty in...to give them the right price... also.. how do you get the add to cart button... to add products to a database table.. if u enter qtys in 2 or more items... just asking how you would go about doing this... solutions / ideas would be most helpful!

poolhustler86 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 that may help... i will fiddle with that tomorrow... but how do you go about... collecting data from the table... when the user clicks add to cart... and insert it into the database.. it might be only one field.. but it could be 10 different colour variations..etc..

trq Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You need a tutorial on how to collect data from a form and your looking at building a cart? I think you may need to start with something allot more straight forward first.

poolhustler86 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 i need the logic for this part... the table is fine.. i know how to set up that in a way that would be suitable... at the end of the table there is a qty box... however.. there could be 1 qty box.. or there could be 20 qty box per one product.. depends on the number of different sizes / colours or products... how do u do that part.... i could do it all with manual numbers.. at ends of fields and have like 100+ variables already declared.. but thats just ugly!

spikeon Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 foreach($size as $key => $value){ $db .= "|".$key."=".$value; } it'll store all the sizes in one row. save you the trouble of those nasty higher-skilled mysql stuffs Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93478-how-would-you-create-this-type-of-table/#findComment-479007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeon Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 and, thorpe, i see no reason why not too. if you can pull it everywhere you need it just the same, and explode it, its like .00000003 ms longer plus, explode and related are used alot of the time for GET and POST, so why not DB?
