Multiple Items with Qty. Textboxes

I am trying to set a product page with the option to choose multiple products and choose quantities for each product. We have worked on this previously in ecart 3 using asp. I now need to be able to do so in ecart 5 in PHP. Please let me know if this is still possible.

Yes. you should be able to accomplish the same thing using eCart in PHP.

Did you follow a document to accomplish that?

you can use this pdf to help you get started:

I have read that particular document, but it only mentioned check boxes. I am needing quantities. Previously that required naming the text box qty and adding the product ID for each as well as all the additional tweaks that were required.

The original process we created several years ago. My ticket was supportdetails.php?Ticket=1101 . This was in ecart3 and in asp..

I appreciate the assistance.

You should be able to use that same example, but then add text fields.

Append the ID of the added item to the name of the quantity field and you can specify the correct quantity to add that way. The same technique and steps from several years ago should still be valid today.

Marginal Success

I have worked at this for the past week with some success, but the output is not consistant.

Below are links to two add to cart pages with two different prouducts.

tour_details.php?tID=1

tour_details.php?tID=2

I find that many times the order will be correct the first time, but if I add additional items to the cart, they will no constantly list in the cart.

I am attaching the php page file for review. This site is for a tour company. Each tour can multiple times and has two prices, one for adults, one for children,

Thanks

try changing the action of your add to cart form to:
<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?><?php echo (isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "")?"?".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]:""; ?>


php:
<form  action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?><?php echo (isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "")?"?".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]:""?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="add_to_cart" id="add_to_cart">

Jason,
I'm trying this same thing - but I'm working with eCart within a Power Store 3 store. Will it still work the same as you directed in this thread?

And I also need quantities as well as the checkboxes.

Thanks!
