This is an Advance Shopping Cart Application source code developed in PHP Language. The main purpose of this shopping cart application is to provide the students or those programmers who are new to PHP with a reference to understand and have an Idea of how to develop an advanced shopping cart for their eCommerce or Online Shops/Store projects. With this, you will learn one of the techniques or ways for managing shopping carts on the backend.
An eCommerce Shopping Cart is a part of a software or an application that allows the customers or possible customers of a certain shop or business to store the list of Items or products they wanted to check out at once after they completed browsing the products.
This advanced shopping cart application was developed using PHP and MySQL Database. The database and sample product data are automatically created upon running or installing the source code. Shopping carts are stored using the PHP Session. Users can simply click the "Add to Cart" button and the selected product item will be listed on the cart list in session. When the product is already on the list, the item on the cart quantity will be updated. On the shopping cart list page, customers can manage the items (update quantity and remove items).
<?php /// print_r($_POST['product_id']); $_SESSION['cart'][$_POST['product_id']] += 1; }else{ // Create new session variable $_SESSION['cart'][$_POST['product_id']] = 1; // print_r($_SESSION['cart']); } }else{ // Create new session variable $_SESSION['cart'][$_POST['product_id']] = 1; // print_r($_SESSION['cart']); } } ?>
The above snippet is the script used for saving or storing the product using PHP Session upon clicking the "Add to Cart" button.
<?php echo "<script>alert('Product has been Removed from Shopping Cart')</script>"; echo "<script>window.location = 'cart.php'</script>"; } $pid = $_GET['pid']; $operation = $_GET['operation']; if($operation == "add"){ $_SESSION['cart'][$pid] += 1; }else{ if($_SESSION['cart'][$pid] > 1) { $_SESSION['cart'][$pid] -= 1; } } } ?>
The snippet above is the PHP script used of removing the Items on the cart list and updating the item quantity.
The database, table, and sample data will be automatically created when running the application for the first time.
