eCart not empty after Checkout and Confirmation Email

I have a problem with eCart5 not clearning the Shopping Cart after checkout.

I placed the following code at the end of the checkout_success.php file and the cart does not empty at all. This creates a problem with customer registering again for the same event and we have to provide a refund.

Just before the footing on the final page I have the following code:

// Clear the Shopping Cart
$eCart4->ClearCart();

However, the items in the cart remain.

Thanks.

Can you a attach a copy of the final page so I can take a look at it. I might be able to spot the issue that way.

Attached is the file. I just lived with it for awhile as I had other projects to attend to.

The clear cart is 6 lines from the bottom of the code.

the code looks like it should clear the cart.

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

Jason,

See the private message.

the cart is stored in a session, you could destroy the browsing sesion using the following code after the closing </html> tag:

<?php

// Initialize the session.

// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!

@session_start();



// Unset all of the session variables.

$_SESSION = array();



// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.

// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!

if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {

    $params = session_get_cookie_params();

    @setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,

        $params["path"], $params["domain"],

        $params["secure"], $params["httponly"]

    );

}



// Finally, destroy the session.

@session_destroy();

@session_regenerate_id();

?>

Jason,

Since the Clear Cart is not working as it should, wouldn't it be simpler to just loop through the cart items and delete each item?

I can check on how the Shopping Cart does it with the delete check box and the $eCart4->UpdateCart();

I just need to know which eCart session item the UpdateCart is looking for to delete this particular item.

$eCart4->MoveFirst();
for ($n=0; $n<sizeof($eCart4->Items); $n++)
{
$this->DeleteFromCart($n, false);
$this->ReIndexContent();
$this->ResetAll();
$this->SaveCart();
}

I'm not certain of the code, but wanted to give you my simplistic thoughts on this.

the simplest way to clear the cart after checkout is to destroy the session using the code provided in my last reply.
