eCart Cookie error

3/07/2013 2:34 am | #1 jackson446396

Hi,

I've been using eCart for a few years and have always stored the cart details using session variables. I'm now looking to change this so the cart is stored in cookies instead.

In the code I changed the PersistanceType to 1 but when I ran the website it returned an error as certain functions couldn’t be found in WA_eCart_Definition_PHP.php

Please can you provide the PHP code for the following functions:
- SetCookies
- SetCookieInfo
- GetCookies

Many thanks

the exact code will depend on the columns in your cart. This is the code generated for the default columns:

ID, Name, Description, Thumbnail, Weight, Quantity, Price

php:

//get cookies

function GetCookies($ItemString)     {

  $itemArray = explode("|WAEC|", $ItemString);

   $itemID = $itemArray[0];

   $itemName = $itemArray[1];

   $itemDescription = $itemArray[2];

   $itemThumbnail = $itemArray[3];

   $itemWeight = $itemArray[4];

   $itemQuantity = $itemArray[5];

   $itemPrice = $itemArray[6];

  return new eCart1_ItemDefinition($itemID, $itemName, $itemDescription, $itemThumbnail, $itemWeight, $itemQuantity, $itemPrice);

}

//get cookies

//set cookies

function SetCookies($itemIndex)     {

  $ItemString = "";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->ID."|WAEC|";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->Name."|WAEC|";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->Description."|WAEC|";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->Thumbnail."|WAEC|";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->Weight."|WAEC|";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->Quantity."|WAEC|";

  $ItemString .= $this->Items[$itemIndex]->Price;

  return $ItemString;

}

//set cookies

//cookie information

function SetCookieInfo($theCookieString)     {

  $numDays   = 14;

  $theDomain = "";

  $thePath   = "";

  $cookSec   = false;

  if ($numDays == "") $numDays="0";

  $theDate = strtotime("+".$numDays." Days");

  setcookie($this->CartName."_Items", $theCookieString, $theDate, $thePath, $theDomain, $cookSec);

}

//cookie information
