Quote Request Form

[Anonymous Chief]

Hi,

I need help with a script I can add to my products on an html page.

What I want is to assign a number to each product or name such that when I
click on the link below the product image, it is added to a form/cart like
page that the user can then submit for a quote request,

Any Ideas?

Thanx Rich,

Do you have any idea about the javascript code I could use to send possibly
the SKU to the cart. That would be helpful, or at least the javascript code
that would save the SKU in an array or something?

Based on what you described you'd probably need to use some basic
javascript
along with your PHP, to handle the click action that adds the item to a
"cart".

Outside of that, depending on the quantity of products you have or plan to

you may get better results using an SQL database. If that's overkill you
can
probably get by assigning a unique number or using your product's SKU for
the
form value.

I can't see any need for JavaScript.

Uh, maybe you should ask in a javascript newsgroup?

Same here. Just a simple get or post request to a script which adds the
item to the shopping cart. Not even that much PHP code, depending on
how you do it.

Re: Quote Request Form

I can do a post or get, but I can only do that from a form field. How can I
do it from a click of a link.

Can someone help me create a post/get script where a person would click on a
link and it would send a session variable in the form of a product SKU that
I can then submit as a form. Mybe in the future I will be able to use MYSQL
to not only send the SKU as a session variable but also look up the SKU in
the database then send the SKU # and SKU Details. That would be cool if I
could do that!!!

Thanx.


BTW: I am reading on php from the basics onwards. I just have this project
that needs that bit of code to be complete. My project is mainly html, and I
have renamed the files to .php. It is mainly composed of "includes". I use
the includes for the footer which contains links which I have setup on a
dedicated links.php file. I just need the post/get script where a person
would click on a link and it would send a session variable that I can then
submit as a form.

(Top posting fixed)

You can't send a form from a link. All you can do is send data as part
of the URL. But that has nothing to do with PHP - that's just straight
HTML. You need to be asking those questions in alt.html.

And MySQL is a database - nothing more, nothing less. It allows you to
store data more easily. It has nothing to do with session or anything
else on the PHP/HTML side.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.
