How do i get items in shopping cart using models? (Magento)

Question

Is there any code with which i could fetch items added to the shopping cart and their count from magento using any models or helpers?

Answer 1

To get your cart object (in session) :

$quote = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();

Then, to get the list of items in the cart :

$cartItems = $quote->getAllVisibleItems();

Then, to get the count for each item :

foreach ($cartItems as $item) {
    echo $item->getQty();
}

Answer 2

$quote = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();

$items = $quote->getAllVisibleItems();

foreach($items as $cartItem) {
    echo $cartItem->getQty();
}

To get the total count in the cart you can use:

 Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getSummaryQty();
