Charges eCart

Just trying to redo an ASP cart into PHP. I am working on some charges. Could you confirm that the ASP rule that I have amended to PHP is indeed correct and will function as expected. The ASP cart name was dmbp and the the PHP is dmbc_in_stock

((WA_eCart_TotalColumn(dmbp, "TotalPrice") - (dmbp_GetDiscounts()) * 1) * Session("TaxRate"))

<?php echo (($dmbc_in_stock->TotalColumn("TotalPrice") - ($dmbc_in_stock->GetDiscounts()) *1) * $_SESSION["TaxRate"]); ?>

When I run a page to see if this works it displays 0.00 even when the cart is populated.

The rule is set to run when number of items in the cart > 0 and $_SESSION["TaxRate"] exists. I have set $_SESSION["TaxRate"] in the code to be 0.19 so the rule should return the TotalPrice * 0.19

use single quotes when creating a rule in the eCart object:

<?php echo (($dmbc_in_stock->TotalColumn('TotalPrice') - ($dmbc_in_stock->GetDiscounts()) *1) * $_SESSION['TaxRate']); ?>

I have pasted the amended rule but it still does not work. Everything parses okay. I have checked that the $_SESSION['TaxRate'] is being set:

<?php
// Set session variables
$_SESSION['TaxRate'] = 0.19;
echo 'Session TaxRate is '. $_SESSION['TaxRate'];
?>

The code from the dmbc_in_stock_PHP.php is below

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_dmbc_in_stock_SalesTax() {
$totalCharge = 0;
if (true && ((sizeof($this->Items) > 0) && (isset($_SESSION['TaxRate'])))) {
$totalCharge += floatVal("".(($dmbc_in_stock->TotalColumn('TotalPrice') - ($dmbc_in_stock->GetDiscounts()) *1) * $_SESSION['TaxRate']) ."");//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalCharge, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule

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

See private message

I see, the the cart object file, instead of referring to the cart object by name, it should be referred to as this.

i changed line 162:

$totalCharge += floatVal("".(($dmbc_in_stock->TotalColumn('TotalPrice') - ($dmbc_in_stock->GetDiscounts()) *1) * $_SESSION['TaxRate'])  ."");//Result

to:

$totalCharge += floatVal("".(($this->TotalColumn('TotalPrice') - ($this->GetDiscounts()) *1) * $_SESSION['TaxRate'])  ."");//Result

Hi Jason,

I changed the file locally and it still does not work. I also see that the www.dmballooncompany.com/set_up_cart.php does not display the sales tax even though you have changed line 162. Please advise.

it is showing the tax for me see screen shot.

Hi Jason,

Are you getting your result from www.dmballooncompany.com/set_up_cart.php because for me it simply does not work. I have now downloaded the files you changed to my local system to see if it works locally and it does not. I am hoping you ran the files locally your end and its simply a change of setting somewhere which will solve this issue.

Many thanks.

on the set_up_cart.php page, try changing the code order for the session and the get info call from:

<?php
// Set session variables
$_SESSION['TaxRate'] = 0.19;
echo 'Session TaxRate is '. $_SESSION['TaxRate'];
?>
<?php
$dmbc_in_stock->GetContent();
?>

to having the getInfo() functor first:

<?php
$dmbc_in_stock->GetContent();
?>
<?php
// Set session variables
$_SESSION['TaxRate'] = 0.19;
echo 'Session TaxRate is '. $_SESSION['TaxRate'];
?>
