Well, this is a lot more complicated to achieve ... you will need to alter the shopping cart class and add the image info to the session, and later to the database ... there are redirects taking place right after an item is being added to the cart so this would prevent any direct pulling of form values on the shopping cart page. Regardless, so even if changed, when a next item is being added to the cart you'd loose the image info if it's not done the way I outlined above.

In addition to what Monica wrote, you can't just add a random attribute to the <input> tag and expect to be able to access its value when processing the form submission. Only the "name" and "value" fields are passed to the PHP code via $_POST. I suggest you read up on form processing (both in PHP and HTML).

 

Also, you've misspelled "field" in "cart_hidden_feild", which could cause problems later down the road.
