Sign In, Confirm Order jumping back to homepage

**restless** · 19 Jun 2006, 08:26 AM

ok found unset($_SESSION['payment']); in these files.

includes\modules\pages\checkout_confirmation\header_php.php (157)

includes\modules\pages\checkout_process\header_php.php (67)

includes\modules\payment\paypal.php (351)

I will do some more research as to the conditions it would unset it but the weird thing is When I did a Back on the browser the Order goes through fine so it's like the $_SESSION['payment'] value reappeared!

if ($credit_covers) {

unset($_SESSION['payment']);

$_SESSION['payment'] = '';

}

What is $credit_covers used for?

It detects whether a credit note (discount, coupon, gift certificate) "covers" the cost of the item, thus requiring no need for a payment module.

Can you reproduce this problem on another server?

It seems to me that your PHP configuration (or version) is causing this problem.

Probably is PHP config as I've seen Session die on other domains I have on the this shared server.

Discovered the $_SESSION['payment'] is not empty in

includes/modules/pages/checkout_confirmation/header_php.php
(the confirmation page)

but is empty in

includes/modules/pages/checkout_process/header_php.php
(after clicking confirm order)

this is where it is empty so something between those 2 makes it dissapear but as it seems random I'm miffed as it why it's happening.

hi,

i am just facing the same problem as restless yesterday! after clicking the confirm order, it will direct me to the 'shopping cart is empty' page whereby its suppose to go to the checkout success page! odd...

Have you installed any mods? i'd be interested to know

**tajul_ashyqin** · 1 Jul 2006, 03:24 AM

i am still checking...

i am testing it in my local testing server! i'd just installed the Newspaper Article and Management when the error occur! there was several mods but not involving any database changes as this newspaper mod, i mean by installing the patches thru admin!

but the odd thing is when i drop the old databases and restore the original fresh install databases, the problem fix! i dont understand...
