You can get the number of items currently in the cart using the following code.
$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getData();
echo (int)$cart['items_qty'];
However,if the cart is empty, writing only the above code will show error (Because $cart[‘items_qty’] is only set when there are items on the cart). For that you need to check if the value is set or not. Hence the total code will be like –
$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getData();
if(isset($cart['items_qty'])){
echo (int)$cart['items_qty'];
} else {
echo '0';
}
thanks a lot – I was looking for this everywhere!
PS – it throws an error when the cart is empty (because 'items'qty' is not set then), therefore I encapsulated it within a function:
function getCartQuantity () {
$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getData();
if (isset($cart['items_qty']))
return (int)$cart['items_qty'];
else
return 0;
}
Echo like this:
echo getCartQuantity ();
Thanks eXe for pointing out the blank cart error and nice to know this post helped you. I have updated the post.
you can use also this to get the quantity
echo Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getItemsQty();
Very Good,
But what I really need is the value (in $$$) of these items, someone could help me ??
Thanks,
I had bugs after the cart uncookied my items. The solution turned out to be using this if test:
if (isset($cart['items_qty']) && $cart['items_qty'] > 0) {
The "isset" will check to see if the value is null / empty, which is what throws the error.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
tmacedo-> If you need the total amount try this:
echo Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal());
Then you can format that number as you like
Has anyone experienced any problems when using Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getItemsCollection() to return items in the cart. I have a problem whereby if a customer leaves items in the cart and logs out and I then change that item in the backend the customer cannot log back in until I reset their account in admin. The problem seems to lie with some custom tier pricing code that uses Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getItemsCollection() to pull items out of the cart. Any suggestions or ideas as to what might be happening would be cool!
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal()); – will return you totla card+tax+shipping
if you need each value of price you can read from:
Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getData(); — will return you array of each price
Malisa how return only total cart whith tax but no shipping?
Thanks
Thank a lot, this did help me a lot.
