Magento - How to get cart items total in header.phtml

Question

I am using Magento eCommerce and I have modified my header.phtml via the Blank template. Code, this is my code but it shows blank.

 <?php $cartQty = $this->getSummaryCount() ?>
    <?php if ($cartQty>0): ?>

            <?php if ($cartQty==1): ?>
                <?php echo $this->__('<a class="cartgo" href="%s">(1 ITEM)</a>', $this->getUrl('checkout/cart')) ?>
            <?php else: ?>
                <?php echo $this->__('<a class="cartgo" href="%s">(%s ITEMS)</a>', $this->getUrl('checkout/cart')) ?>
            <?php endif ?>


    <?php endif ?>

what do you get if you var_dump $cartQty? – Kristian Hildebrandt Jan 19 '12 at 11:44 — Kristian Hildebrandt, Jan 19 '12 at 11:44

There was an answer to a link before by someone called SUHUR I think, I was going to reward him with the answer but it seems he deleted his own post?

He linked to this: http://nothingtopost.wordpress.com/tag/how-to-get-total-cart-item-in-magento/

I modified my code and this works now on .phtml files.

<?php
      $count = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getSummaryCount();  //get total items in cart
      $total = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal(); //get total price
      if($count==0)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(0 ITEMS)</a>',$count);
      }
      if($count==1)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(1 ITEM)</a>',$count);
      }
      if($count>1)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(%s ITMES)</a>',$count);
      }
      echo $this->__('', $this->helper('core')->formatPrice($total, false));
    ?>

The above didn't work for me, but this did: http://www.richardcastera.com/blog/magento-get-the-total-price-of-items-currently-in-the-cart — logic-unit, Jun 06 '12 at 20:31

<?php
    $cartTotal = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal();
    $cartItemsCount = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCart()->getItemsCount();
    $cartSuffix = ($cartItemsCount != 1) ? 's' : '';

    echo '<a class="cartgo" href="'.$this->getUrl('checkout/cart').'">
              <strong>'.$this->__('Your basket').'</strong><br />'.
              $this->__('(%s) Item%s', $cartItemsCount, $cartSuffix).
              '<span>[$'.$this->helper('core')->formatPrice($cartTotal, false).']</span>
          </a>';
?>

Output:

Your basket
3 Items [$32.5]

Add some text to walk through the code, or maybe a sample of the output. – JoshDM Aug 12 '13 at 14:29

<?php $_cartQty = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getItemsCount(); echo $_cartQty; ?>

thats all you need for 1.7 if your already running the mage:app which you can't do anything without really.

furthermore, this only shows "item" count, not quantity.

Use the helper object to get the current cart object, and then count the number of items in the cart object.

echo Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCart()->getItemsCount();

You can find your cart template here:

YOURSITE/app/design/frontend/YOURTHEME/default/template/checkout/cart/minicart.phtml

Within a span with the class of .count you'll see this snippet:

<span class="count"><?php echo $_cartQty; ?></span>

Replace it with this snippet and you'll get the grand total displayed instead:

<?php echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice(Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal()); ?>

When linking to a cart, you should really use Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCartUrl(). The example given would not work if your site is hosted in a sub-domain.

Who cares? Magento is the biggest pile of crap eCommerce system I have come across to date. We scrapped our plans for it. – TheBlackBenzKid Nov 02 '12 at 21:07

<?php
      $count = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getSummaryCount();  //get total items in cart
      $total = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal(); //get total price
      if($count==0)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(0 ITEMS)</a>',$count);
      }
      if($count==1)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(1 ITEM)</a>',$count);
      }
      if($count>1)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(%s ITMES)</a>',$count);
      }
      echo $this->__('', $this->helper('core')->formatPrice($total, false));
    ?>

Use the below code in phtml file to get the no of items in cart.

<?php $helper = $this->helper('\Magento\Checkout\Helper\Cart');
      $noCartItems= $helper->getSummaryCount();
      echo $noCartItems;?>
