Inserting product, in session or db? please help

[jung]

Hello all.

 

Im developing a payment module for OsCommerce, but im running into a few question, IMHO im a php programmer for years but the code looks like tsunami powered. :-"

 

now that's out of the way i have a question:

 

I'm looking for a way to register a product directly via a link or header refresh. I look and tried to insert a product into the db basket table, and yeah that goed fine. But i have the feeling it is put into a session first? beacuse no matter how many refreshes it does not show up after loggin out/in. very confusing that code.

 

so, simple me needs one thing:

 

a piece of code which puts a product into the cart, without refreshing etc....

 

like:

 

products_id, quantity, pid etc...

 

i tryed something like:

 

$PHP_SELF?action=add_product&products_id=202&cart_quantity=1

 

but no go...

 

anyone?

Here pieces of code which i tryed to make it function:

 

 

So mainly i want to check a payment remote, and then update the cart with a product with a "direct db insert".

 

 

 

if($news === "Err002") {

 

header("location:$PHP_SELF?action=add_bon&products_id=202&cart_quantity=1");

 

//$cart->add_cart('202', $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid('202', '1'))+1, '1');

 

}

 

 

and:

 

if($news === "Err002") {

$sql = "insert into customers_basket set customers_basket_quantity = '1', customers_basket_date_added = '".date("Ymd")."', customers_id = '".$customer."', products_id = '202'";

$res = mysql_query($sql);

echo $sql;

}

 

 

 

 

i guess i tryed it all, it wont work.

*solved*

 

:rolleyes:

 

really simple anwser, if anyone cares, this is how you put a product into the session & db:

 

$cart->in_cart($products_id);

 

spend 2 days looking for it, excuse me but this shopping cart system is one of the most ill-designed piece of code i ever seen. I made simillar shops with a thenth (10%) of the code. >_<

and the documentation is worthless, and the code notation/explaination is so little.

 

I'm glad this was a onetime project for me.

If I would consider myself a php programmer, I might want to reconsider that statement.

Why?

 

if i'm correct, (it does what i want) it calls the cart class in shopping_cart.php which registers it in the current session and puts the item into the db.

 

well it works, and that's what i wanted.

 

<_<

 

anyway i'm off this board and done with "osCommerce".
