Passing New Value To Cart

Quote

Post by Web-developer » Thu Mar 17, 2011 4:59 am

Hi I am trying to pass value from product page to cart after pressing [add to cart].

I have tried following, in product.tpl

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="custom_val" value="text">
And then in cart.tpl

Code: Select all

$custom_val = $_POST['custom_val']; echo custom_val;
But above example gave me "undefined" in cart.tpl

Basically I am trying to add custom "text" field to product and be able to display it in shopping card, and probably add it to database in confirm.tpl where order is being created. I can deal with entering those into database, but how do I pass value from [add to cart] up to cart.tpl and canfirm.tpl?

Anyone help please!!! ???

well that's not really the correct way to do it, but the error in your code is in the cart.tpl to make it work it would be

Code: Select all

$custom_val = $_POST['custom_val']; echo $custom_val;
that won't make it more correct, but should eliminate the error.
