Price checking by Listing Package

[e1m2j]

O.k. My client has adjusted his plan and will now be offering only one package per price range. So it looks like I have a solution.

Many Thanks.

A side topic:
Is there a way to have the customer put his price in before selecting a package? Then the package could be automatically selected (as there's only one per price range) and that price field passed into the form where they fill out details.

So, I updated the code (below) in usercheckout.php and it doesn't give an error, but it also doesn't put people into the right package. Even with the new code in usercheckout.php I successfully placed an ad in a package that was not correct for the item price. Thoughts?

PHP Code:

//submit the details.
            if(isset($_POST['title']) && isset($_POST['section']))
            {
                $section=(int)@$_POST['section'];
                $productid=(int)@$_POST['productid'];
                $title=@$_POST['title'];
                $listingprice=0;
                if(isset($_POST['price']) && $_POST['price']<>"")
                {
                    $listingprice=@trim($_POST['price']);
                }
                $url=@$_POST['url'];
                $shortdescription=@$_POST['shortdescription'];
                $description=@$_POST['description'];
                $featured=@$_POST['featured'];
                $bold=@$_POST['bold'];
                $highlighted=@$_POST['highlighted'];
                $provider=@$_POST['provider'];
                $pPrice=0;
                $boldPrice=0;
                $highlightedPrice=0;
                $discountText="";

                //Replace harmful scripts, badwords and links.
                $title = filterword($title);
                $number=explode(".", $listingprice);
                if(strlen($number[1])==0 || strlen($number[1])==2)
                {
                    //american
                    $listingprice=str_replace(",", "", $listingprice);
                    $listingprice=ereg_replace("[^.[:alnum:]]","",$listingprice);
                    
//new code

if($listingprice <= '40.00')
{
$package=2;
}
elseif(($listingprice > '40.00') && ($listingprice <= '70.00'))
{
$package=3;
}
elseif(($listingprice > '70.00') && ($listingprice <= '100'))
{
$package=4;
} 
elseif(($listingprice > '100.00') && ($listingprice <= '1000'))
{
$package=5;
} 
elseif($listingprice > '1000.00')
{
$package=6;
}                 

//end new code

}
                else
                {
                    //something else
                    $listingprice=str_replace(".","",$listingprice);
                    $listingprice=str_replace(",",".",$listingprice);
                    $listingprice=ereg_replace("[^.[:alnum:]]","",$listingprice);
                }
                $shortdescription = filterword($shortdescription);
                $shortdescription = strip_tags($shortdescription,'<br>');
                $shortdescription = eregi_replace("<script[^>]*>.*</script>"," ",$shortdescription);
                $shortdescription = ereg_replace("[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]"," ", $shortdescription);
                $shortdescription = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br />", $shortdescription);

                $description = filterword($description);
                $description = strip_tags($description,'<br>');
                $description = eregi_replace("<script[^>]*>.*</script>"," ",$description);
                $description = ereg_replace("[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]"," ", $description);
                $description = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br />", $description);
                
                //find out which ad was selected

Any ideas. I thought this would work, but it doesn't. And I've got an client who wants to launch his site with this scinario.

Thanks.

Try this:

PHP Code:

//new code 
echo "Listing Price: ". $listingprice ."<br />Package: ". $package;
if($listingprice <= '40.00') 
{ 
$package=2; 
} 
elseif(($listingprice > '40.00') && ($listingprice <= '70.00')) 
{ 
$package=3; 
} 
elseif(($listingprice > '70.00') && ($listingprice <= '100')) 
{ 
$package=4; 
}  
elseif(($listingprice > '100.00') && ($listingprice <= '1000')) 
{ 
$package=5; 
}  
elseif($listingprice > '1000.00') 
{ 
$package=6; 
}                  
echo "<br /> New Package: ". $package;
//end new code 


All that ads is some echo statements which will print the values at the top of the page. Once you have added those run a test then report back with what is printed.

[e1m2j]

When I replace what I had with what you suggested I get:

Listing Price: 1230
Package:
New Package: 6

I had selected package 2 which was to be $40-$70. So it does appear to recognizing the new package (even if it doesn't list the selected package in the Package: space - is it supposed to)

However, when I continue on I'm only being charged the package 3 price not the package 6 price.

[e1m2j]

Any thoughts Eric/others?

Seems that it's recognizing the switch, but not passing the new value through the rest of the checkout process.

[e1m2j]

Any ideas? Anyone?

Try this:

Open usercheckout.php:

Scroll down to step 4 and find:

PHP Code:

$description = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br />", $description); 


Add this just below it:

PHP Code:

//new code
//echo "Listing Price: ". $listingprice ."<br />Package: ". $productid;
if($listingprice <= '40.00')
{
    $productid=2;
}
elseif(($listingprice > '40.00') && ($listingprice <= '70.00'))
{
    $productid=3;
}
elseif(($listingprice > '70.00') && ($listingprice <= '100'))
{
    $productid=4;
}  
elseif(($listingprice > '100.00') && ($listingprice <= '1000'))
{
    $productid=5;
}  
elseif($listingprice > '1000.00')
{
    $productid=6;
}                  
//echo "<br /> New Package: ". $productid;
//end new code 


I basically commented out the lines that echo for testing, and I replaced $package with $productid.

The only thing that came to mind is that you'll need identical packages except for the price, since the features of the listing are defined by the original package chosen.

[e1m2j]

Thanks, but that doesn't do it.

I tried it just like you described and it changed the package, but made it $0.

Then I tried reverted $productid to $package, and that let the transaction go through with a value, but the original value.

Perhaps I put your code in the wrong place. Step 4 wasn't very obvious to me in the code, but there was only one place where the line
$description = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br />", $description);
exists.

Other thoughts?
