Getting Information From Shopping Cart To Another Page

[likelylad]

I have an AJAX shopping cart from

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/fly-to-basket/fly-to-basket.html

I have adapted the page to what I needed successfully, however I would like to get the information in the shopping cart and sent it to a php page.

The following is a snippet of code from the shopping cart page:

	<div id="rightColumn">
<form name="input" action="runquery.php" method="post">
		<!-- Shopping cart It's important that the id of this div is "shopping_cart" -->
		<div id="shopping_cart">
			<strong>Products Not In Query</strong>	
			<table id="shopping_cart_items">
				<tr>
					<th></th>
					<th>Description</th>
					<th></th>
				</tr>
				<!-- Here, you can output existing basket items from your database 
				One row for each item. The id of the TR tag should be shopping_cart_items_product + productId,
				example: shopping_cart_items_product1 for the id 1 -->
				
				
			</table>
			
			<div></div>
		</div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /><br />
</form>
	</div>
	
	<div class="clear"></div>
	
</div>

The Code I have tried on the following page is as follows:

<?php

$test=$_POST['shopping_cart_items'];
echo $test;
?>

Thanking in advance for any help received

Not enough information:

Is there a form element (textbox, hidden field, checkbox) named "shopping_cart_items" anywhere?

How is it getting its values?

i think it's all an ajax thing from looking at the link (interestingly the example page has broken functionality). you (the OP) needs to create a method for returning the contents of the shopping cart database in a suitably rendered format, and then a javascript hook to call the data in to the relevant html element.
