Adding to Shopping Cart Outside of Store

[hxiao]

Although I have no problems with basic PHP and HTML and such, I have a problem that I haven't been able to come up with the solution to:

 

I have a PHP wizard that works, that the user can use to figure out which products they would like to order. At the end of the wizard, I would like for those products to be added to the shopping cart all at once. I can get the product IDs, but I'm not sure how I'd go about adding all of them to the shopping cart at the same time with basically a button click. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this done, or if it can be done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Create a loop where inside you mimick the buy now button.

Yeah you can just make a form with one button that says Finish or whatever (since you said this is a wizard-style interface), and that form could just be populated with hidden values of the product_id's that you want to add like this:

 

<form method="post" action="index.php?action=add_all_to_cart">
 <input type="hidden" name="products_id[]" value="32">
 <input type="hidden" name="products_id[]" value="47">
 <input type="hidden" name="products_id[]" value="27">
 <input type="hidden" name="products_id[]" value="61">
 <input type="hidden" name="products_id[]" value="173">
 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Finish">
</form>

Then you just add a new section to application_top.php that processes the "add_all_to_cart" just like it does the add_product or buy_now sections, but loop through $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'] and make a call to the cart function to add it for each individual value, then redirect to the shopping cart page or wherever you want to dump them afterward...
