STS and coding????

[speed2]

Hi, I am using STS 1.8 and I am thinking of adding a code to show content of shopping card at the top.

 

Is any one know how to do that?

 

This is the code i am thinking of adding

 

<table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
  <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
    <tr>
      <td valign="top" width="21"><img src="images/cart.gif" alt="cart" width="21" height="16"></td>
<?php
if ($cart->count_contents() == 0) {
?>
<td valign="top" class="smallText">Your cart is empty.</td>
<?php
} else {
?>
<td valign="top" class="smallText"><?php echo '(' . $cart->count_contents() . ')' .  ($cart->count_contents() == "1" ? " Item" : " Items "); ?>  /  <?php echo $currencies->format($cart->show_total()); ?></td>
<?php
}
?>

 

Please some one advise me! very urgent

<table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
 <tr>
   <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
     <tr>
       <td valign="top" width="21"><img src="images/cart.gif" alt="cart" width="21" height="16"></td>
<?php
if ($cart->count_contents() == 0) {
?>
 <td valign="top" class="smallText">Your cart is empty.</td>
<?php
} else {
?>
 <td valign="top" class="smallText"><?php echo '(' . $cart->count_contents() . ')' .  ($cart->count_contents() == "1" ? " Item" : " Items "); ?>  /  <?php echo $currencies->format($cart->show_total()); ?></td>

STS does NOT parse php code... notice the html extension..

if you want to pars PHP in a template try BTS..
