Wordpress integration of form call, this should be easy, or is it?

Easy for a PHP junkie not me that is!

I want to pass a parameter into a shopping cart call on a wordpress page.

The following is representative call to the e-junkie shopping cart, passes a parameter in through the URL which is "discount_code"

<form action="http://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart;i=B061120;cl=123300;ejc=2;discount_code=ACODE" target="ej_ejc" method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8">

<input type="image" src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart" class="ec_ejc_thkbx"/>

</form>

The above works......and allows also calls other than discount_code eg to quantity=123 or amount=123 to override quantity

All I want is an extra TEXT formfield that allows the user to enter the discount_code in text and passes it in through the parameter above

BTW - vbulletin seems to be hijacking that string and formatting it wrongly it should say
discount_code=ACODE

Is that hard or easy ..?


[NB e-junkie used to allow passing on "buy it now" via a parameter os0 name "Promotion" and on0 - doesnt work on addtocart]

Isnt this as easy as putting the URL call above into its own PHP myphp.php file from which itis executed - with a form embedded in the wordpress containing suitable hidden parameters for the product descriptions ( the numbers) and a submit button to execute the PHP as an action=myphp.php ...or something?

Dont know the detail, but it sounds kind of right...

So what else needs to go

Not 100% sure if this is what you mean but can't you just add within the form:

Discount Code: <input type="text" name="discount_code" />

Then in myphp.php

$discount_code = trim(preg_replace('%[^a-z0-9 ,.]%i', '', $_POST['discount_code']));

 

Thanks...

Here is as far as I got..

In the meantime since asking, I created the myphp.php as literally the file...

http://www.crazypricelaptops.co.uk/code/ejpass.php

Containing this.

<?php
$prod1 = $_POST['prod1'];
$cust1 = $_POST['cust1'];
$coup1 = $_POST['coup1'];
$url1= "Location:http://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart;i=".$prod1.";cl=".$cust1.";ejc=2;discount_code=".$coup1.";";
$cmd1= 'header("'.$url1.'")';
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
eval($cmd1);
exit();
?>


The form call as follows.

<form action="http://www.crazypricelaptops.co.uk/code/ejpass.php" target="ej_ejc" method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<input type="hidden" name="prod1" value="B061120"/>
<input type="hidden" name="cust1" value="123300"/>
Enter the Coupon Code if you have one:<br />
<input type="text" name="coup1"/>
<input type="image" src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart" class="ec_ejc_thkbx"/>
</form>

An echo - in place of the eval - confirms it does indeed create the $url1 is
http://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart;i=B061120;cl=123300;ejc=2;discount_code=CRAZY;

Which happily runs..

$cmd1 is header("Location:http://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart;i=B061120;cl=123300;ejc=2;discount_code=CRAZY;")

But the eval does not...work!!

The eval tries to transfer but gives "windows explorer cannot open the page!"

Any ideas - the point is , having constructed the correct URL as $url1 how to Iget it to transfer to the page? if not as a redirect? by eval of $cmd1

Try changing the eval function to header($url1);

EDIT: Is the semi colon meant to be on the end of the url?

 

Try changing the eval function to header($url1);

Brilliant it works! - Well Done - PM me a paypal and I will send the £20
