Tutorial: Simple Shopping Cart using Session in PHP with Source Code

Getting Started

This is Simple Shopping Cart using Session in PHP tutorial.  I’ve used Bootstrap in this tutorial which is a CSS framework and is included in the downloadable of this tutorial, but if you want, you may download Bootstrap using this link.

Creating a Database

Next, we are going to create our database which contains the sample product that we are going to show.

I’ve included a .sql file in the downloadable of this tutorial which is a MySQL database file. All you have to do is import the said file. If you have no idea on how to do this, please refer to my tutorial.

You should be able to create a database with tables named database.

Displaying a Products

Next, we create the page to display products to our user. We do this by creating a new file, name it as index.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
    //initialize cart if not set or is unset
    if(!isset($_SESSION['cart'])){
        $_SESSION['cart'] = array();
    }
 
    //unset quantity
    unset($_SESSION['qty_array']);
?>

Creating a Add-to-Cart Script

Next, we are going to create our add to cart script which will add to our cart which is the form of PHP session.

Create a new file, name it as add_cart.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
 
    //check if product is already in the cart
    if(!in_array($_GET['id'], $_SESSION['cart'])){
        array_push($_SESSION['cart'], $_GET['id']);
        $_SESSION['message'] = 'Product added to cart';
    }
    else{
        $_SESSION['message'] = 'Product already in cart';
    }
 
    header('location: index.php');
?>

Creating a View-Cart Page

Next, we create a page where the user can view his cart. Create a new file, name it as view_cart.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
?>

                                $index ++;
                            }
                        }
                        else{

            </form>
        </div>
    </div>

</html>

Creating a Delete Item Script

Next, we are going to create the script that removes item/s from the visitor’s cart. Create a new file, name it as delete_item.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
 
    //remove the id from our cart array
    $key = array_search($_GET['id'], $_SESSION['cart']);	
    unset($_SESSION['cart'][$key]);
 
    unset($_SESSION['qty_array'][$_GET['index']]);
    //rearrange array after unset
    $_SESSION['qty_array'] = array_values($_SESSION['qty_array']);
 
    $_SESSION['message'] = "Product deleted from cart";
    header('location: view_cart.php');
?>

Creating a Update Quantity Script

Initially, we have defined the quantities of added products to cart by 1. If ever the visitor wants to edit the quantity and saves it, this is the script that we are going to use.

Create a new file, name it as save_cart.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
    if(isset($_POST['save'])){
        foreach($_POST['indexes'] as $key){
            $_SESSION['qty_array'][$key] = $_POST['qty_'.$key];
        }
 
        $_SESSION['message'] = 'Cart updated successfully';
        header('location: view_cart.php');
    }
?>

Creating a remove-the-entire-cart Script

Next, we are going to create a script that whenever the visitor wants to clear his cart, the cart will reset.

Create a new file, name it as clear_cart.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
    unset($_SESSION['cart']);
    $_SESSION['message'] = 'Cart cleared successfully';
    header('location: index.php');
?>

Creating a Checkout Redirection

Lastly, we create the script that will redirect our visitor if he clicks the checkout button which supposed to lead him to the login page but in this tutorial, we are going to create a simple message to our visitor.

Create a new file, name it as checkout.php and paste the codes below.

<?php
    session_start();
    //user needs to login to checkout
    $_SESSION['message'] = 'You need to login to checkout';
    header('location: view_cart.php');
?>
