Base price as a PHP variable

[Matt Staines]

Hi Guys,

I'm working on my product page, i.e. includes/templates/mytemplate/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

I need to get the current base price and define it as a php variable so that I can use it in an on page calculation. I can see that there is a load of script to display the base price, but I cannot figure out how to make it a variable. Something like:

$base_price = get_products_price($products_id);

Any of you guys that know PHP and can shed some light on this it would be most helpful.

Kind Regards

Matt

How about

$base_price = get_products_base_price ($products_id);

How about

$base_price = get_products_base_price ($products_id);

Thanks, I'll give that a try!

Although not 100% accurate, a helpful tool for such function search is the published docs for zc 1.5.0 (http://www.zen-cart.com/docs/phpdoc-1-5-0/)

Thanks everyone,

I achieved it using:

<?php echo zen_get_products_base_price((int)$_GET['products_id']) ;?>

Question about the usage of the above, understand that it is used on the product_info page which ought not be displayed without a products_id, but I would suggest at least coding this section applicably. Or to put it another way, I kinda get the willies when I see GET statements used directly without some form of validation. The validation may already be there (executed before the above code), but just one of those "system views".

The fact that the value is cast to an (int) should be "validation" enough.
