Apr 23rd, 2009

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a shopping cart. In which i am sending mail which product customer want to shop. But i am ubable to fetch more than one product with different name . Because for this i need a loop. And i am not understanding how i can call a loop or array in mail message.Like i want message should go in this way:

Thanks for shopping with us. You have placed order of these products:-----
1st Product Name: ----name--
Prodcut price:----price1 value--
Prodcut quantity:---quantity---
2nd Product Name:----name---
Prodcut price:----price2 value--
Prodcut quantity:---quantity---
3rd Product Name:----name---
Prodcut price:----price3 value--
Prodcut quantity:---quantity---

Total price of these all product: price1+price2+price3
Postage Charge:------value--------
Total:---------total price+postage charge
If you have any query about your order placed or for further Convenience, you can contact us or call us here:-

---------------address information---------

So here i am unable to fetch these three product information in mail which customer is receiving through shopping cart . It is fetching only last one product info which customer is adding in cart and it is showing only that product.

Please suggest me . How i can do this. It is very urgent for me.

Build the values first and add it in the message part of the mail..
Something like this,

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
foreach($product as $value) {
$message .= $value ." is in the cart.<br />";
}
mail("someuser@gmail.com","Welcome",$message,"From: someone@gmail.com");
?>
<?php
foreach($product as $value) {
$message .= $value ." is in the cart.<br />";
}
mail("someuser@gmail.com","Welcome",$message,"From: someone@gmail.com");
?>
