Shopping Cart with Checkout Using CodeIgniter

This shopping cart is using CodeIgniter framework that allows you to add/update/delete a product from the cart. I am using the database in my previous post as a fixed on the existing shopping cart I found in the internet.

This code is totally different from the code at “How to Build Shopping Cart w/ Checkout in PHP”. It has a cleaner code, secured and most importantly easy to understand.

Shopping cart with checkout using CodeIgniter is part of the tutorial that I am currently working. I will explain this one by one on how I created this code in the next few days.

It's so easy to create a cart using CodeIgniter. Here's an example code:

public function add()


{


 $this->load->model('Cart_model');


 


 $insert_room = array(


  'id' => $this->input->post('id'),


  'name' => $this->input->post('name'),


  'price' => $this->input->post('price'),


  'qty' => 1


 );  


 


 $this->cart->insert($insert_room);


 


 redirect('cart');


}
