hoping someone can assist or send me in the direction of a tutorial?
I have simple Shopping Cart (PHP/MYSQLi) that processes the orders and stores them in the database. However I can't figure out how the best way is to also have an email alert sent with the order confirmation details?
below is the code for checkout.php - this is when it submits to the database.
I also have ordersuccess.php - this is just page confirming the OrderID.
should I implement a script to ordersuccess.php instead?
thanks in advance folks, all a learning curve for me!
checkout.php
<?php
// include database configuration file
include 'dbConfig.php';
// initializ shopping cart class
include 'Cart.php';
$cart = new Cart;
// redirect to home if cart is empty
if($cart->total_items() <= 0){
header("Location: index.php");
}
?>
