Question

I want to implement a simple link that when clicked, deletes the item from the basket.

How can I do this?

<tr>
    <th>Product</th>
    <th>Description</th>
    <th>Price</th>
    <th>Quantity</th>
    <th>Total</th>
  </tr>

and

$paypalBasket[] = array($product['common_name'], $item['prod_type'], $product['price'],    $item['quantity'], number_format($line_cost, 2));
  ?>

  <tr>
    <td><?=$product['common_name'];?></td>
    <td><?=$item['prod_type'];?></td>
    <td><?=$product['price'];?></td>
    <td><input type='text' name='quantity[]' value='<?=$item['quantity'];?>' size='2' /></td>
    <td>&pound;<?=number_format($line_cost, 2);?></td>
  </tr>

Answer 1

You can point the link href to a script and pass in the id of the item via a query string. Something like this.

<a href="delete_item.php?id=1"></a>

Then in that script do any necessary validation checks, delete the item then re-show them the shopping cart.
