I am building my first website with a shopping cart of sorts and have encountered a problem. How do I get an item to post to my cart? I have all of my items listed on their respective pages and links to the shopping cart but I do not know how to make it actually fill in the cells. This is not a true shopping cart, it is more of a form. My customers will select the product they want and click to add it to the cart and when they are finished it will email me their order. Any help that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.

i remember about similar question at sitepoit forums, solution was - try oscommerce or enother good shopping cart examples, also try browse hotscripts - ecommerce.

dbrandonpeed - am I right in saying you have some product pages, and you want to add code so that people can select some number of items in one go and then email their order to you?

Can you give us some more info, such as what exactly the 'cells' are (are they table cells in html? array elements in php? database records? ), and what sort of links you have from each product? (Are you using GET variables for example - eg: www.yoursite.com/cart.php?productid=54)

Which shopping cart are you using?

I am building a product page and I want the add to cart button under each item to link to the spreadsheet on my cart page. I'm not using an actual shopping cart......I'm cheap. I appreciate all of the responses so far. Thank you.
