Ok, basically, I’ll be re-designing this site: http://www.mrotb.com.au
If you go to the ‘Products’ section, you can browse products and click ‘add to cart’. When you’re done, you click ‘Check Out’, fill in your details (including Credit Card details), and they get sent off via email. No online credit card processing takes place - the numbers just get emailed to the owner, then he manually processes the payment himself.
What I do need is just a very simple way to mimick this functionality. I’ve looked into open-source PHP e-commerce solutions, but they’re all too overkill. This is extremely simple, but I don’t have any experience on how to:
- Remember which items the user has added to the cart
- Recall the items in a list when the user Checks Out
The only thing I can think of is to have the user’s choices temporarily stored in a MySQL table so they can be recalled when they check-out… but that’s impractical. Ignore me - I don’t know what I’m doing
I can enter the items into a MySQL database and have them listed in a PHP page. That I CAN do easily enough.
It’s just this temporarily remembering what the user has chosen, recalling it at the checkout screen and passing it on to the form where they fill out their details.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :D:D:D
