Get order value on checkout_success page

**Alex Clarke** · 25 Jul 2009, 06:10 PM

I'm implementing some tracking code (to track the success of my email campaigns) and need to pass the order total (of the order just placed) to JavaScript.

Does anyone know how I can grab the order total with PHP from the checkout_success page?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Ok, so I ran into a few problems.

I was unable to create a variable (which could be accessed on the checkout_success page) containing the total order value.

So, I decided to pass it to the checkout_success page in the query string.

Currently I'm using the following code, on line 32 of the checkout_process header_php.php file.

Code:

zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SUCCESS, 'amount=' . number_format($_SESSION['order_summary']['order_total'], '2', '.', ''), 'NONSSL'));

While the above code correctly updates the query string it doesn't redirect to a regular http version of checkout_success.

Is there a work around for this?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Oops. If you're using v1.3.8/a then in your template you'll need to make a substitution:

Instead of referring to the data using this:
$_SESSION['order_summary']...

Use this:
$order_summary...

ie: $order_summary['order_total']
