After following along and successfully completing Ben's tutorial of the Online Shopping Cart, I figured I would try and make my own.
The first major problem I am having is being able to display my products from my database in my index.php page. The goal is to actually see the images of each product displayed in index.php (like in the tutorial). This would then enable me to add my products to the cart.php page.
I've checked the database connection and it does exist. My guess would be that I am using the wrong syntax to display my products in the "fetch_all_products()" method.
*** M_PRODUCTS.PHP ***<?php
classProducts{private $Conn;private $db_table ="toys";function __construct(){// here we're making sure that the connection from $conn in "init.php" is transferred // into our own private $conn property for usage in this objectglobal $Conn;
$this->Conn= $Conn;}// fetches and displays all products from dbpublicfunction fetch_all_products($id = NULL){if($id = NULL){
$data ="<li>";if($result = $this->conn->query("SELECT * FROM ". $this->db_table ." ORDER BY name")){if($result->num_rows >0){while($row = $result->fetch_array()){
$data .= array("id"=> $row["product_id"],"name"=> $row["name"],"price"=> $row["price"],"image"=> $row["image"]);}

Hello,
After following along and successfully completing Ben's tutorial of the Online Shopping Cart, I figured I would try and make my own.
The first major problem I am having is being able to display my products from my database in my index.php page. The goal is to actually see the images of each product displayed in index.php (like in the tutorial). This would then enable me to add my products to the cart.php page.
I've checked the database connection and it does exist. My guess would be that I am using the wrong syntax to display my products in the "fetch_all_products()" method.
