I was wondering if there was a way to take one value from a column in a Table and add it to a column in another table.
The Scenario: I have a table (Shopping_Cart). It stores all of my customers shopping cart items in the columns CustomerID
, PID
, Price
, Status
(Status can be "IN_CART" which means it was added and "OPEN" means that it has been paid for and ready to be processed and shipped). Then I have a table (Products). It stores product information in columns PID
, Price,
Weight`. When My customers place an item in the shopping cart I do not capture the price. Prices can change daily so if they add something today, when they come back tomorrow the price may increase or decrease in their shopping cart. When my customer checks out and payment is confirmed, I am trying to grab the Price in the (Products) table where Products.PID = Shopping_Cart.PID and then apply that price to the Shopping_Cart.Price to lock in that final price since the customer has paid for it. Any Ideas? I got it set up to change the items for that customers cart to "OPEN" but I am a little lost on getting my script to grab a value from one table and applying it to another table. Below is my PHP Script for changing the Lines from "IN_CART" to "OPEN".
if($The_Function=="CLOSE_LINES"){
$cart_close_session_id = $_GET['close_session_id'];
$response = array();
require_once __DIR__ . '/db_connect.php';
//connect to my db
$db = new DB_CONNECT();
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE shopping_cart SET Status = 'OPEN' WHERE SessionID LIKE '$cart_close_session_id' AND Status LIKE 'IN_CART'");
if ($result) {
$response["close_success"] = 1;
//GRAB PRICE FROM "PRODUCTS TABLE" AND UPDATE SHOPPING_CART
}else{
$response["close_success"] = 0;
}
echo json_encode($response);
}
