Gladly, Carsten, gladly. Thank you for pointing out the deficiencies. Since
it is difficult to send the inputs but easy to provide the outputs, and as
opposed to posting the printout, let me direct you here to see it
first-hand:

With respect to my poor coding, I intend to use this project as an
opportunity to learn how to properly code. I'm almost done with getting this
shopping cart up and running. And while it looks bad to you, it has certain
genius that will enable me to use it for all my future clients, a difficult
task for a shopping cart since clients' needs are so different. So, please
help me get this working. Next, I need to catch up some other client work,
then I will return to this and start cleaning it up and hopefully learn how
to program better.
Thanks for your help.
