Andras,

name=qty[] value=0> <input type=text name=price[] value=0>

a useful addition can be to use the item id in the 'key' of the input names
(and always quoting your element attributes is highly recommended):

<input type="hidden" name="item[18]" value="apples">Apples <input type="text"
name="qty[18]" value="0"> <input type="text" name="price[18]" value="0">

that way you can easily fish out the quantities when looping the
selected items (example mostly ignores input cleaning/validation for brevity etc -
but you shouldn't :-) e.g. get anal about make sure things are actually integers when
that is what you require, etc):

foreach ($_POST['item'] as $itemId => $itemName) {
	if (isset($_POST['item'][$itemId]) && ($qty = intval($_POST['item'][$itemId])) {
		addItem($itemId, $qty);
	}
}

another thing that popped into my head was the fact that it's
probably not intended behaviour to allow the customer to determine the
unit price of an item -
	but if it is then can I have 10 Plasma Screens at 1 dollar a pop? ;-)


Will get you where you need to go on the HTML side of things, then on
the back end you need to process each array.  By setting a default value
of 0 for the qty, you force users to change the values, but you also
keep your arrays intact and easier (IMHO) to deal with.

Hello,

I trying to add multiple items to a shopping cart with selectable
quantity and price form text field like..

apple   : qty: [__]  price: [__]
orange : qty: [__]  price: [__]
<Add Items to Cart>


I could add multiple items with checkboxes but without selecting
quantity and price..

if (isset($_POST['itemschecked'])) {
foreach($_POST['itemschecked'] as $itemschecked => $checkeditems ){
AddItem($checkeditems, 1);
}

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks,

Andras
