Hey all,

I am attempting to output a list of products in a cart, and then send them by email using eform, as well as writing them to the db using eform2db. However, I am having a bit of trouble getting eform2db to output all the items.

This is what I have right now

$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
	if ($cart) {
		$items = explode(',',$cart);
}


foreach ($items as $id) {
$fields['objid'] = $id;
}

Although this only outputs the final item in the cart. Is there an easy fix? Is there perhaps a better way to approach this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I’m not familiar with eform2db, but if you need an array of IDs to process, you can do it like this:

$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
	if ($cart) {
		$items = explode(',',$cart);
}


foreach ($items as $id) {
$fields['objid'][] = $id;
}

That is, you’ll be adding the individual IDs to the array $fields[’objid’] instead of overwriting the array element $fields[’objid’] on each pass through the loop as at present.

Thanks kp52.

Solved the problem by simply dropping the snippet in a readonly textarea un my eform template. Quick and dirty, perhaps. But effective.

Will almost certainly be using your solution for a couple of upcoming projects though.
