Need help with the add to cart button

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?
I would like to change the function of a button on my site (the add to cart button), so instead of adding to the shopping cart it actually pulls from the database from a url and takes the customer there.
I can change the button into a simple hyperlink, but I need to pull the url from the d/b based on the product id

I would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction (as you can tell I am new to php)

Thanks

Hi,
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with the following block of code from the file:
Application_top.php in oscommerce 2.3
I am trying to change the add to cart code. Instead of actually adding the product to the cart I would like it to be a hyperlink. The link is pulled from the table “products “ (I added a new column call product_url)
each product has its own url.
I am just struggling with changing the code to select the link from the d/b and use it for the button.
Below is the code
// customer adds a product from the products page
case ‘add_product’ : if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[‘products_id’]) && is_numeric($HTTP_POST_VARS[‘products_id’])) {
$attributes = isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[‘id’]) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS[‘id’] : ‘’;
$cart->add_cart($HTTP_POST_VARS[‘products_id’], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($HTTP_POST_VARS[‘products_id’], $attributes))+1, $attributes);
}
tep_redirect(tep_href_link($goto, tep_get_all_get_params($parameters)));
break;
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful as you can tell I am new to php.
Thanks
