I'm working on this e-commerce site and I'm trying to create a jSON array containing the cart items in PHP.
So far I have:
for ($i=0; $i < count($_SESSION['cart']); $i++) {
$prodid = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][0];
$sizeId = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][1];
$colorId = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][2];
$qty = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][3];
$inslagning = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][4];
$wrapCost += ($inslagning == 'YES' ? 20 : 0);
$row = get_product_buy($prodid, $sizeId, $colorId);
$prodname = $row['prodname'];
$color = $row['color'];
$size = $row['size'];
$prodCatid = $row['catid'];
$image = $row['biggerimage'];
$box = $row['box_number'];
for ($j=0;$j<$qty;$j++) {
$cart = array(
'reference' => '123456789',
'name' => $prodname,
'quantity' => $qty,
'unit_price' => $price,
'discount_rate' => 0,
'tax_rate' => 2500
);
}
}
I know I have the $cart var inside the loop which is probably wrong. The end result should be like this:
$cart = array(
array(
'reference' => '123456789',
'name' => 'Klarna t-shirt',
'quantity' => 1,
'unit_price' => $att_betala * 100,
'discount_rate' => 0,
'tax_rate' => 2500
),
array(
'reference' => '123456789',
'name' => 'Klarna t-shirt',
'quantity' => 1,
'unit_price' => $att_betala * 100,
'discount_rate' => 0,
'tax_rate' => 2500
)
);
All help is appreciated!
You have to append a new child to $cart
instead of overwriting it. To append values to an array (the easy way), use $array[] = …
. PHP increments the child's ID automatically.
Not required, but please initialize $cart
first and use descriptive variables.
To inspect an array (or other data), use var_dump
.
// Initialize an empty array. Not needed, but correct to do.
$cart = array();
for ($i=0; $i < count($_SESSION['cart']); $i++) {
$prodid = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][0];
$sizeId = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][1];
$colorId = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][2];
$qty = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][3];
$inslagning = $_SESSION['cart'][$i][4];
$wrapCost += ($inslagning == 'YES' ? 20 : 0);
$row = get_product_buy($prodid, $sizeId, $colorId);
$prodname = $row['prodname'];
$color = $row['color'];
$size = $row['size'];
$prodCatid = $row['catid'];
$image = $row['biggerimage'];
$box = $row['box_number'];
// Append products $qty times.
for ($productCount=0; $productCount<$qty; $productCount++) {
// Append a new product to $cart.
$cart[] = array(
'reference' => '123456789',
'name' => $prodname,
'quantity' => $qty,
'unit_price' => $price,
'discount_rate' => 0,
'tax_rate' => 2500
);
}
}
Use like this
$cart[] = array(
'reference' => '123456789',
'name' => $prodname,
'quantity' => $qty,
'unit_price' => $price,
'discount_rate' => 0,
'tax_rate' => 2500
);
Try Using
for ($j=0;$j<$qty;$j++) {
$cart[] = array(
'reference' => '123456789',
'name' => $prodname,
'quantity' => $qty,
'unit_price' => $price,
'discount_rate' => 0,
'tax_rate' => 2500
);
}
$json_enc = json_encode($cart);
You are not appending to the $cart variable, you are overwriting it on every pass of the loop.
Use the []
syntax to append to an array:
$cart[]=...
Also, its good to declare an empty array at the top of the code:
$cart=array();
