Additional field record doesn't get inserted in CheckOut Page

I added the following fields in the checkout page:
<tr>
<th><label for="" >Promotional Code</label></th><td align="left"><input name="OrderPromotionalCode" type="text" id="OrderPromotionalCode" size="20" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="right"><label for="OrderPurchaseDate">Date</label></th><td align="left"><input name="OrderPurchaseDate" type="text" id="OrderPurchaseDate" value="<?php echo date("Y/m/d")?>" /></td>
</tr>

Is that true: in the following section of php code in confirm.php page, the above field variables are missing?
= "OrderAmount|OrderFirstname|OrderSurname|OrderShipAddressSt|OrderShipSuburbCity|OrderState|OrderPostcode|OrderPhone|OrderShipping|OrderTax|OrderEmail|OrderPromotionalCode|OrderPurchaseDate";
$WA_fieldValuesStr = WA_eCDB_ConvertNumber("".$publicShopping->GrandTotal() ."") . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["firstname"]))?$_POST["firstname"]:"") ."" . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["lastname"]))?$_POST["lastname"]:"") ."" . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["street1"]))?$_POST["street1"]:"") ."" . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["city"]))?$_POST["city"]:"") ."" . "|" . "".(isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province']:$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_state_province']) ."" . "|" . WA_eCDB_ConvertNumber("".((isset($_POST["postcode"]))?$_POST["postcode"]:"") ."") . "|" . "".(isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_phone'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_phone']:$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_phone']) ."" . "|" . WA_eCDB_ConvertNumber("".$publicShopping->GetShipping() ."") . "|" . WA_eCDB_ConvertNumber("".$publicShopping->GetTax() ."") . "|" . "".(isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_email'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_email']:$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_email']) ."" . "|" . "".$_SESSION[''] ."" . "|" . "".$_SESSION[''] ."";

you have both those column set to an empty session :
$_SESSION['']


for every form element that you add to the checkout page, you will need to add 2 things to the confirm page:

1) the confimr page has a collection of hidden form elements to capture the values posted from the checkout page, you need to add a new hidden form element with the same name as the one from the checkout page:

<input name="OrderPromotionalCode" type="hidden" id="OrderPromotionalCode" value="<?php echo((isset($_POST["OrderPromotionalCode"]))?$_POST["OrderPromotionalCode"]:"") ?>" />

2) Each form element has a corespondin set session value behavior on the confirm page.
on the sever behaviors panel, click the plus button and select eCart -> General -> Set Session Value.

Set the trigger to any form post.

set the name to the same as the form element.

click the lightning bolt next to value and select the corresponding form element from the form collection.

no in the store order summary behavior, you will need to bind the new database columns to the corresponding form element.

I was busy with other issues and I'll work on this right now. Thank you always,
