Hi! This is my first post in this forum.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this! I hope this makes sense. I'm also relatively new to PHP, so I hope I have used terminology correctly in describing the problem.
I am not sure how to accomplish what needs to be done. This is a complicated problem for me and I have tried to include the necessary code examples below without putting hundreds of lines in here to wade through.
The scenario is that I'm creating a page within an e-commerce site that will allow the user to upload a file that will then be processed and added to the cart.
Once that upload has been done, detailed results will be displayed showing the status of each item that was processed from the uploaded file. In addition, the cart totals at the TOP of the page (which have already been displayed) need to be refreshed.
The framework in place for this site uses PHP classes and multiple layers of overloading in order to "build" the html for a page.
The "stack" in place to create the html for the upload page can be simplified for this discussion as "main.php" and "upload.php", although the actual code stack is somewhat more complicated.
As you can see in the class "account_upload" below that, once the form is submitted, two methods are called; ent_upload::upload_file and ent_upload::import_file.
Those are working just fine and the subsequent display is showing the status of the processed lines just fine. In fact everything is working fine, except...
What I can't figure out how to do is to get the cart totals at the top of the screen to re-display.
From my research thus far, it seems that what is needed is to use the Javascript/AJAX functionality to re-execute the method snap_cart->display(), snag those results and then modify the innerHtml property of the appropriate <div> tag. This will likely require creating an additional <div> tag within the class "main" that encapsulates or "wraps around" the <div> tag "snap_display" as created within the class "snap_cart".
But the basic problem is that all the code that executes after the "submit" button is pressed on the upload screen is PHP code and executes on the server, so neither Javascript nor AJAX are available. I can't find any documentation that indicates that PHP can modify the innerHtml properties of a <div> tag and so I am totally stumped as to how to refresh only this portion of the page.
Ideally, I would envision this occurring just prior to the <div id="upload_file_info"> tag in the class "account_upload".
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks.
