Answer : session variable $subtotal not printing

You need to pass subtotal parameter to your php ajax script :

For example if subtotal is associated to the value of a textbox (check line 42) : < input type="text"

We get the value of the texbox (line 24)
And pass it as param with the Ajax call (line 29)
