Question by Nicholas Clark:
E-Commerce on my site.. A tiny help? I have a couple quesitons.?
I created a very basic table in my MySQL database, a product page that varies content by the product clicked on, a cart page, many admin edit/delete/add pages, and have the pages scripted in PHP.

What I am having a few issues with, at this time, is understanding how to have the price dynamic.

By this, I mean having the price change based on a size drop-down menu, when you add it to your cart.

On top of this, I would like to know how to differentiate my products in the cart by size AND color.
On the original, I simply had no options. When you added it to the cart, it checked to…
A. see if the cart was empty
I. If it was empty
a. Add the first item
II. If it was not empty
b. Check to see if that particular item was in the cart, already
A. If the item was in the cart, already, add one more to the quantity in it.
B. If the item was not in the cart, already, then add it as a new item.

I need to include a quantity option to change on the product.php page, as well as color and size options. The color should be sent with the rest of the information so that I might send out the correct item(s). The size (sq. footage) should change the price, which should then by multiplied by the quantity.

If the size AND color were not the same as something in the shopping cart, then it should be added as a separate item. If they are the same, the quantity should be added to the quantity in the cart.

I’m starting to lose focus, and, with it, my mind.

All help appreciated.

If you would like to see my scripts, as basic as they are, just ask. I will save them to a script-storing site and link you to it.
