I have a shopping cart and I am trying to display the products in my user's shopping cart with SESSION arrays. Currently, all products added to the shopping cart get arrayed into the $_SESSION["products"]
SESSION. Now, I am trying to query the $_SESSION["products"]
session to display the products in a list with pagination. I am using pagination so only 10 products get displayed per page. Basically the $_SESSION["products"]
is a cached array of products that the user added to their shopping cart via their browser's cache. I realize that you cannot literally SQL query the $_SESSION["products"]
but I am looking for something similar to retrieve the results as a "query". In my pagination code below, the pagination clearly works properly and retrieves the product_code
and displays 10 per page. I am looking for something exactly like that except by retrieving from the SESSION.
In simplest forms, how do I retrieve the data from my SESSION?
This is a visual interpretation of the sort of code I am looking for:
$strSQL = $_SESSION["products"];
$objQuery = mssql_query($strSQL) or die ("Error Query [".$strSQL."]");
$Num_Rows = mssql_num_rows($objQuery);
This is my Pagination code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
include_once("config.php");
$objConnect = mssql_connect('gdm','Gdr','Rod1!');
$objDB = mssql_select_db('GBadfr',$objConnect );
$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE 1=1 ".$cheack." ORDER BY id ASC";
$objQuery = mssql_query($strSQL) or die ("Error Query [".$strSQL."]");
$Num_Rows = mssql_num_rows($objQuery);
$Per_Page = 2; // Per Page
$Page = $_GET["Page"];
if(!$_GET["Page"])
{
$Page=1;
}
$Prev_Page = $Page-1;
$Next_Page = $Page+1;
$Page_Start = (($Per_Page*$Page)-$Per_Page);
if($Num_Rows<=$Per_Page)
{
$Num_Pages =1;
}
else if(($Num_Rows % $Per_Page)==0)
{
$Num_Pages =($Num_Rows/$Per_Page) ;
}
else
{
$Num_Pages =($Num_Rows/$Per_Page)+1;
$Num_Pages = (int)$Num_Pages;
}
$Page_End = $Per_Page * $Page;
IF ($Page_End > $Num_Rows)
{
$Page_End = $Num_Rows;
}
?>
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION["products"]))
{
$total = 0;
echo '<form method="post" action="PAYMENT-GATEWAY">';
echo '<ul>';
$cart_items = 0;
$i = 0;
foreach ($_SESSION['products'] as $cart_itm)
if(++$i > 10) break;
{
$product_code = $cart_itm["code"];
$queryy = "SELECT TOP 1 product_name,product_desc, price FROM products WHERE product_code='$product_code'";
$results = mssql_query($queryy, $mysqli);
$obj = mssql_fetch_object($results);
echo '<li class="cart-itm">';
echo '<span class="remove-itm"><a href="cart_update.php?removep='.$cart_itm["code"].'&return_url='.$current_url.'">×</a></span>';
echo '<div class="p-price">'.$currency.$obj->price.'</div>';
echo '<div class="product-info">';
echo '<h3>'.$obj->product_name.' (Code :'.$product_code.')</h3> ';
echo '<div class="p-qty">Qty : '.$cart_itm["qty"].'</div>';
echo '<div>'.$obj->product_desc.'</div>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</li>';
$subtotal = ($cart_itm["price"]*$cart_itm["qty"]);
$total = ($total + $subtotal);
echo '<input type="hidden" name="item_name['.$cart_items.']" value="'.$obj->product_name.'" />';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="item_code['.$cart_items.']" value="'.$product_code.'" />';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="item_desc['.$cart_items.']" value="'.$obj->product_desc.'" />';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="item_qty['.$cart_items.']" value="'.$cart_itm["qty"].'" />';
$cart_items ++;
}
echo '</ul>';
echo '<span class="check-out-txt">';
echo '<strong>Total : '.$currency.$total.'</strong> ';
echo '</span>';
echo '</form>';
echo '<a href="checkout.php">Checkout</a>';
echo "dsa ".$cart_items."dsa";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Thank you for any help. All help is appreciated.
P.S. I have a similar question at Shopping Cart's `View Cart Items` Page is not Paginating Properly that you may take a look at if you are willing. Thank you again for any help.
