Add to Cart not going to cart.php

I have one product page on this site (gift-boxes.php) that is different from the others and I can't get the Add to Cart buttons to work, although the Checkout ones do.

Unlike my other product pages, this page has 3 different items on the page at the same time, each with their own form and set of buttons. I have a different recordset populating each ATC bindings.

I've attached the file for your perusal.

Thanks for your help again. It's greatly appreciated.

Best - Joe

P.S. You'll may notice the multi-checkbox options for the 3rd form. That will be my next question - on how to pass the selections to the cart.

It doesn't look like the recordsets on your page are working correctly.

If i view source of the page and look at the code for the first gift box:

php:
<form id="threePForm" name="muirhead_1_ATC_" method="POST"  action="/dev/gift-boxes.php">

      <input type="hidden" name="muirhead_1_ID_Add" value="" >
  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
      <th>&nbsp;</th>
      <th>&nbsp;</th>
      <th>&nbsp;</th>
      <th>Quantity</th>
      </tr>
    <tr id="buttons">
      <td><input type="submit" id="atc" name="muirhead_1_ATC" value="Add to Cart" class="button" /></td>
      <td><input type="submit" id="checkout" name="muirhead_Checkout_1" value="Checkout" class="button" /></td>
      <td><input type="submit" id="continueShopping" name="continueShopping" value="Continue Shopping" class="button lastOne" /></td>
      <td><input class="quantityField" name="muirhead_1_Quantity_Add" type="text" value="1" /></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </form>



the iD element does not have a value:
<input type="hidden" name="muirhead_1_ID_Add" value="" >

in the original PHP code, the ID is coming from the recordset. Double check that your record sets are defined properly.


For the checkbox selection, you would need to define a new column in your cart object. in the add to cart button behavior, set the new option column to be updatable from a checkbox. You can then add the additional checkboxs to the page using the same name as the fisrt one created by the eCart Add to cart behaivor, make sure the name ends with [] so that all selected items will be passed as an array.

you can then add the following code at line 1 to convert the array to a comma seperated list:

php:
<?php

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")     {
    foreach(
$_POST as $key => $val) {
        if(
is_array($_POST[$key])) $_POST[$key] = implode(", "$_POST[$key]);
    }
}
?>

Multiple checkbox selection

Closing in, but not quite there yet. I believe I've set up the multiple checkbox selection correctly, but I'm not sure if I'm displaying it properly.

Here's what I've done so far:
1. Added a new column to eCart object, MixMatchSelections, set to Text.
2. In the Add to Cart behavior on gift-box.php for the Mix Match item, set the new column as updatable. There isn't an option to make it a checkbox, as you suggested, so I set it to a text field.
3. For all checkbox items, I set the name to the generated value and added square brackets, like this: name="muirhead_3_MixMatchSelections_Add[]".
4. On cart.php, I inserted the routine to explode the array that you included in your last post at line 1.
5. In the display area, I added the following code right after the description (where I'd like the list of selections to be shown: <?php echo $muirhead->DisplayInfo("MixMatchSelections"); ?>
(Eventually, I'd like to only show this message conditionally, if there are any such selections. What's the best way to do that?)

So far, no selections are shown on cart.php. I've attached gift_boxes.php and cart.php in hopes you'll take a look.

I really appreciate all your help - this is pretty much the final piece of the puzzle.

Best - Joe

that code needs to go on the gift-box.php page, not the cart display page.

Okay, I did that. No change in output. Any other suggestions.
