I need to find a quote module to bolt onto a dreamweaver based website or new complete package (have looked at xcart).

 

I would like to add multi products to a basket and send the details to me via email with no pricing as the industry is niche and pricing changes on product design, steel pricing. Client will be quoted afterwards.

 

I haven't been able to find a quote module which is any good and I am struggling to find people whom can talk about this.

 

your help would be great,

Know any PHP? For something like that, just using an array stored in a session would work, assuming no security is really needed. Use database sessions to make it a little more secure if needs be.

 

Array structure and usage would be something along the lines of:

 

<?

$_SESSION['basket'] = array(

array(
	'product_name' => 'Some Steel',
	'product_qty'	=> 2
),

array(
	'product_name' => 'More Steel',
	'product_qty'	=> 5
)

);

$email_body = "Order details below.\n\nProduct Name (Quantity):\n\n";

foreach ($_SESSION['basket'] as $basket_item){
$email_body .= "\t{$basket_item['product_name']} ({$basket_item['product_qty']})\n";
}

$email_body .= "\nEnd of order details";

print nl2br($email_body);

 

Of course you would use mail() rather than print, and miss out the nl2br() too.

Andy,

 

thank you for replying. I am not up to speed with php, and can only write basic html sites containing contact forms etc in dreameaver which look fine, but when it comes to php and sql I've never touched on this. I will need to be able to import product details from excel and images. I was trying to find an off the shelf product such as a module because of my skill set.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Richard.

Suggestion: outsource. Plenty of developers on here who could put something together for you.
