php - Individual item shipping cost method

[keepingbusy]

Hi

I ask this question which relates to coding from and for an oscommerce website written in php.

There are several contributions available on the forum for Individual Shipping Cost for items but none seem to work correctly.

Is this something I can do myself with coding or does anyone know anywhere else I can look. I have the usual books etc but none give examples of how to achieve my goal which is as simplae as:

An item 5.99 shipping cost 1.99
Another item 3.99 shipping cost 1.75
Another item 2.75 shipping cost 1.99

And so on....

I now have a fair knowledge of php and able to edit files if required.

My forte is with Visual FoxPro and not php I'm afraid!

Some guidance and not the sollution would be most advantagous.

Thank you
Lee

can this be done with coding: YES.

for solution pointers, have a look at the addons for oscommerce that already do exactly what you want

or use shipping inclusive prices.

Hi jpadie

As I mentioned in my post, I have tried several of the contributions, none of which we can get to work. The one you have pointed me to shows a "Anyone can help us??" message which tends to suggest that they are in trouble as well.

Suppose we'll just have to keep on looking.

Thank you for your reply.

i don't think so. the post in question seemed to be a post by someone unconnected with the author and related to his particular installation. do you get the same error when you install this plugin?

I'll give it a try and post back soon
