Checkout by size and color

Hi I currently have my pages set up so that if we have 3 colors of the same style shirt the shopper would just use a pull down menu for the size and then another pull down menu for the color. Everything is working fine, it is storing in my database so I have all database fields set correctly...

My question is, what do I do when we run out of a certain color in a certain size?

Here is my code for the add to cart button:

<td align="center" valign="top">
<form name="sum1_7_ATC_<?php echo $row_rsSilk["itemId"]; ?>" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?><?php echo (isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "")?"?".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]:""; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="sum1_7_ID_Add" value="<?php echo $row_rsSilk["itemId"]; ?>" >
<input name="sum1_7_Quantity_Add" type="text" class="qtyformelem" value="1" size="4" >
<select name="sum1_7_Size_Add">
<option value="M" selected="selected">Medium</option>
<option value="L">Large</option>
<option value="XL">XLarge</option>
<option value="XXL">XXLarge</option>
</select>
<select name="sum1_7_Color_Add">
<option value="White" selected>White</option>
<option value="Steel Gray">Steel Gray</option>
<option value="Blue">Blue</option>
</select>
<input type="image" src="/assets/misc images/cart.gif" border="0" class="cartbutton" value="Add to Cart" name="sum1_7_ATC" alt="Add to Cart">
</form> </td>

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!

One thing you can do is to just remove it from the dropdown options so that it doesn't show up and the user can't select it. This would be the simplest way to accomplish not allowing users to order something that is sold out.

Another way is to use a recordset to get the various different availabilities of the combinations of options and store these in variables. Then on the form, you could write out a function that would check the availability in the onsubmit of the form. Customization like this isn't supported however, so you would have to implement it yourself.
