shopping cart-checkout problem

3
I'm implementing a shopping cart but am having a problem in checking out a person who has added item in his/her shopping busket.The code for the checkout.php script is given below
<?
require_once('functions.inc.php');
session_start();
do_html_header("Checkout");
$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
if($cart&&array_count_values($cart))
{
display_cart($cart,false,0);
display_checkout_form($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}
else
echo"<p>There are no items in your cart";
do_html_url("index.php","Continue Shopping");
?>
After a person has added vehicles to his/her cart and now wants to checkout, the checkout.php script generates this error:

'There are no items in your cart Continue Shopping :PHP Warning: array_count_values() [function.array-count-values]: The argument should be an array in C:\...shopping_cart\checkout.php on line 12' where line 12 is

if($cart&&array_count_values($cart))
I have realised that the code is not even reading whether or not a person has added something in his/her cart , but don't no where the error is.
The fucntions in the shopping cart are found in the function.inc below:

function.inc

<?php
$table_width = '995';
function do_html_header($title = '')
{
// print an HTML header including cute logo :)

global $table_width;
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title?></title>
</head>
<body>

<table width = <?php echo $table_width?> cellspacing = 0 cellpadding = 6>
<tr>
<td bgcolor = "#0066CC" width = 110>
</td><td bgcolor = "#0066CC">
<h1><?php echo $title?></h1></td>
</tr>
</table>

<?php
}

function do_html_url ($url, $title) {
?>
<a href="<?=$url?>"><?=$title?></a>
<?
}

function writeShoppingCart() {

$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
if (!$cart) {
return '<p>You have no items in your shopping cart</p>';
} else {
// Parse the cart session variable
$items = explode(',',$cart);
$s = (count($items) > 1) ? 's':'';
return '<p>You have <a href="cart.php">'.count($items).' item'.$s.' in your shopping cart</a></p>';
}
}

function showCart() {
global $db;
$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
if ($cart) {
$items = explode(',',$cart);
$contents = array();
foreach ($items as $item) {
$contents[$item] = (isset($contents[$item])) ? $contents[$item] + 1 : 1;
}
$output[] = '<form action="cart.php?action=update" method="post" id="cart">';
$output[] = '<table>';
foreach ($contents as $id=>$qty) {
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM vehicles WHERE id = '.$id;
$result = $db->query($sql);
$row = $result->fetch();
extract($row);
$output[] = '<tr>';
$output[] = '<td><a href="cart.php?action=delete&id='.$id.'" class="r">Remove</a></td>';
$output[] = '<td>'.$model.' '.$make.'</td>';
$output[] = '<td>Z$'.$price.'</td>';
$output[] = '<td><input type="text" name="qty'.$id.'" value="'.$qty.'" size="3" maxlength="3" /></td>';
$output[] = '<td>Z$'.($price * $qty).'</td>';
$total += $price * $qty;
$output[] = '</tr>';
}
$output[] = '</table>';
$output[] = '<p>Grand total: <strong>Z$'.$total.'</strong></p>';
$output[] = '<div><button type="submit">Update cart</button></div>';
$output[] = '</form>';
} else {
$output[] = '<p>You shopping cart is empty.</p>';
}
return join('',$output);
}
?>

You need to ensure that the items in the cart are actually there.

If your view cart is working then it is not carrying over to the checkout.

You can also check to see that the items are stored within the array. I recently used the below script to find an error in one of my scripts.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function show_array($array) {
  2.     foreach ($array as $value) {
  3.         if (is_array($value)) {
  4.             show_array($value);
  5.         } else {
  6.             echo $value . "<br>";
  7.         }
  8.     }
  9. }
  10.  
  11. show_array($array);
  12.
