  1. POHow can i display an array outside the for each loop?
    text
    copied!<p>So I have a shopping cart that works fine, but I want to display the results of the shopping cart inside a contact form outside of the for each loop.</p> <p>The problem I am having is whenever I try to display $Ptitle it just displays the last addition to the shopping cart. Not the full list of titles inside the array. I have tried various methods to display the array results, but none seem to work. And it seems i can print the array via </p> <pre><code>print_r ($contents); </code></pre> <p>But only inside the for each loop, not outside. Below is the code, sorry if it's messy. Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <pre><code>function showCart() { global $db; $cart = $_SESSION['cart']; if ($cart) { $items = explode(',',$cart); $contents = array(); foreach ($items as $item) { $contents[$item] = (isset($contents[$item])) ? $contents[$item] + 1: 1; } echo '&lt;form action="http://www.changecompanies.net/dev/theme/cart_checkout.php?action=update" method="post" id="cart"&gt;'; //$output[] = '&lt;table&gt;'; ?&gt; &lt;table id="cart"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Quantity&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Item&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Product Type&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Unit Price&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Total&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Remove&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php foreach ($contents as $id=&gt;$qty) { $sql = 'SELECT * FROM tccproducts WHERE id = '.$id; $result = $db-&gt;query($sql); $row = $result-&gt;fetch(); extract($row); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tccproducts WHERE Pid ='$id'")or die (mysql_error()); //if (!$result); //echo "no result"; $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result) or mysql_error('error!'); $name = $myrow['Ptitle']; //$name = substr($name,0,40); $Pprice = $myrow['Pprice']; $Ptitle = $myrow['Ptitle']; $Pimage = $myrow['Pimage']; $Pcat = $myrow['Pcategory']; $mini = $myrow['Pminimum']; </code></pre> <p>Rest just displays the cart and ends the for each loop.</p>
