Tax Rule Question

I would like to add a tax based on the customer State.
This should be simple but I cannot make it work.

I select "based on session variable value"

and

$_SESSION["eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province"] = OH

I have tried other conditions and those work OK

Thanks for the help.

NOTE: when creating a tax rule to trigger off the ecart session values, the tax will not be applied untill the user submits the checkout page and gets to the confirm page.

add the following to the body of your confirm page to see what the session variables value is:

<?php echo("Shipping State: ".$_SESSION["eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province"]."<br />"); ?>

this will tel us what is being stored in the eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province session.

It shows the session value is OH.
It still don't get the tax value.
If I use "=! "it will show the tax value but that for any state value as well.

can you send a copy of the cart object file from the WA_eCart folder so I can examine the tax rule code.

The file is attached.

it looks like when entering the session mane in the rules trigger, you entered "$_SESSION["eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province"]" instead of just the name "eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province.


you dont need to enter the code for the session in the based on session variable value, only the name of the session.

That was it, thank you Jason

you're welcome.
