Shopping cart processing with PHP

  
  • Favourite
Average Star Rating is 3 from the Total 13 Ratings


Let's create a simple php based shopping cart, in this example, I am using two-dimensional array to store my product details. This is a basic php skeleton with three functions get_total(); add_vat() and apply_discount(); third one can be optional as not all products will have discount. Later we will add our UI to display the receipt with bit of a help from Bootstrap CSS.

 

<?php

$cart_products = array(
        array("name"=>"Laptop","quantity"=>1, "price"=>299.99),
        array("name"=>"Desktop","quantity"=>1, "price"=>499.99),
        array("name"=>"Pad","quantity"=>1, "price"=>99.99) 
        );

$subtotal = 0;
foreach($cart_products as $item ){
    $total_amount = get_total($item['quantity'], $item['price']);
    echo $item['name'].", £". $total_amount."<br />";
    $subtotal += $total_amount;
}

$total_after_discount  =  apply_discount($subtotal,10);
$discount_amount = $subtotal - $total_after_discount;
$grand_total = add_vat($total_after_discount,20);
$vat_amount = $grand_total-$total_after_discount;


echo "<br /><hr/>Subtotal : £".round($subtotal,2)."<br /><hr />
      10% Discount : £".round($discount_amount)."<br/>
      Total after discount £".round($total_after_discount,2)."<br />
      20% VAT : £".round($vat_amount,2)."<br />
      Grand Total £".round($grand_total,2)."(Inc 20% VAT)<br/>";


function get_total($quantity, $price){
    $total_amount = $quantity * $price;
    return $total_amount;
}

function add_vat($total_amount,$percentage){
    $percentage = $percentage /100;
    return $total_amount + ($total_amount * $percentage );
}

function apply_discount($total_amount, $percentage){
    $percentage = $percentage /100;
    return $total_amount - ($total_amount * $percentage );
}

?>

 

Adding UI : For simplicity, we can keep these two blocks of code in one file, just comment out any echo from php script.  I am using a UI template form Bootsnipp.com. Please see the completed demo of the shopping_cart or have a look at screenshot below.
