Shopping Cart

[Brian F.]

Hello All,

Does anyone know of a PHP scripted shopping cart that will force the
user to fill out a form when they click on a product. Let me explain more
fully: I am designing a website for a non for profit youth baseball league.
They want to have the option of the parents to go online and sign their kids
up for next year's leagues. But we need information from each of them
becuase there are different age groups that determine what league you go
into. I need the parents to select say the Tee Ball option then fill out a
form with the player's info and then have that info e-mailed to the league
president.

I know that this is a lot to ask of this newsgroup but I figured I might
as well start with the experts. Any help that anyone can give would be
great!

Is your web server running the frontpage extensions, specifically the form
handler? If that is the case then you can use the FP form to do this.

Insert > Form. this will put the form border and a submit and cancel button on
the page

Insert > form > field - repeat this for each field, and the field type (text box,
textarea, dropdown box, radio button, checkbox etc) for each bit of information
you're collecting. Add the fields you want for each of the bits of information
you want to collect

Use radio buttons or a drop down list for the type of sport eg tee ball, baseball
or whatever.

Right click, form > properties. In the "send to" options choose email, and
insert your email. There is an option for your customised "thank you" page etc.

Save the page. Publish.

When the user fills in the form, the information will be emailed to whomever you
specify.

1. You didn't mention anything about the need for payment, so why the need for a shopping cart
application?

2. You can create a form directly in FP, as long as the server has the FP extensions, and you can
set up field validation, so that certain fields must be completed before the form can be submitted.

I'd just make a "regular" form for them to fill out, and you could also put
a paypal button in there, or better, on the confirmation page, where they
could "pay up".
