如何将购物车中的多个项目插入到表格中？

Question

This cart code takes multiple items from the shop page and displays them perfectly on this cart page.

I'm wondering how do I transport these cart variables into a table called orders.

I am stuck figuring out how to input a single instance of data into an orders table for some reason - if I can figure out this, then it should be easy how to input multiple records at once.

I think this is on the right track, I've echoed the below variables. But it only echoes out the last thing in the cart.

$name = $product['name'];
$quantity = $product['quantity'];
$productprice = $product['price']

I was testing how to input this string by inserting dummy data from order-process.php, which checks if a submit button is processed on cart.php.

foreach($_SESSION['shopping_cart'] as $key => $product):
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $product['name']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $product['quantity']; ?></td>
<td>$ <?php echo $product['price']; ?></td>
<td>$ <?php echo number_format($product['quantity'] *
$product['price'], 2); ?></td>
</tr>

<?php
echo $name;
echo $quantity;
echo $total;

$query = "insert into products values('$name','$quantity',
'$total')";
$query_run = mysqli_query($con,$query);
?>

<form method="POST" action="order-process.php" name = "submit "
value = "submit">
</form>

<?php
session_start();
require_once('dbconfig/config.php');
if(isset($_post['submit']))
{
$SQL = "INSERT INTO orders (name, quantity, total) VALUES
('abc','10', '75')";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
}
?>

I'd lke to learn how to insert dummythis dummy data, Ideally I would like to figure out how to extract the cart variables from cart.php and multiple insert rows for whatever the user has in that cart.

I'm relatively new to php, but I'm sure this is close enough to an answer as I can come up with.

You don't need two php files for processing cart items, you can insert items into a products table on the same page as the cart.php. The next step would be to place this insert statement inside a for-loop for the variables from that cart to place every item in that cart into the products table.

<form method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$SQL = "INSERT INTO orders (name, quantity, total, orderdate) VALUES ('abcdef', '100', '715',  NOW())";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $SQL);
}

?>
