I want to add a new session['abc'] during the checkout Step 5: Payment Method (1.5.5.1).
What I've done so far:
/template/checkout/payment_method.tpl add
<input type="hidden" name="abc" value="1111" id="abc">
/template/checkout/checkout.tpl
data: $('#payment-method input[type=\'radio\']:checked, #payment-method input[type=\'checkbox\']:checked, #payment-method textarea'),
changed to
data: $('#payment-method input[type=\'radio\']:checked, #payment-method input[type=\'checkbox\']:checked, #payment-method textarea, #payment-method input[type=\'hidden\']'),
/controller/checkou/payment_method.php after
$this->session->data['payment_method'] = $this->session->data['payment_methods'][$this->request->post['payment_method']];
added
$this->session->data['abc'] = strip_tags($this->request->post['abc']);
and the error message is
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character
OK
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: salutation in <b>D:\phpnow\PHPnow-1.5.6\htdocs\1\catalog\controller\checkout\payment_method.php</b> on line <b>190</b>[]
Welcome to StackOverflow.
In Your controller's code (/controller/checkou/payment_method.php) You probably have somewhere this kind of code:
echo 'OK';
or
print('OK');
or
die('OK');
That comes prior the JSON output. In addition, the index salutation in some array is not defined (does not exist) thus You should first test for it's presence e.g. this way:
if(isset($some_array['salutation'])) { /* Your code then */ }
or
if(!empty($some_array['salutation'])) { /* Your code then */ }
Removing the echo 'OK'; and testing for the array index should fix the problem.
