how can I display opencart total on external web page from cart

How can I display the $total on an external web page from opencart. The web page and opencart are on the same server but opencart is installed in a sub folder. I would like to display the Total and a link back to opencart. I have the link as follows so far:

  <div id="topcart">
    <p>
      <span class="cartamt">$123.00</span>
      <a href="/store/index.php?route=checkout/checkout"><img src="/images/icon-cart.png" alt="Cart" /></a>
    </p>
  </div><!-- end div topcart -->

I just need to replace the 123.00 with the actual total amount in opencart. Thanks, Robert Campbell

To anyone else trying to find this answer it's simple. Edit the system/library/cart.php file like jay says but when getting the total use $_SESSION['default']['currentTotal'] instead.

The simplest way to do this would be to save the total as getTotal() is called in the cart class to a session variable, and then use the session variable in that page (assuming they are on the same domain and using the same session). To set the session variable, use

$this->session->data['currentTotal'] = $total;

Just before return $total; in system/library/cart.php. Adding currency formatting gets a little more tricky. You instead need to use

global $registry;
$this->session->data['currentTotal'] = $registry->get('currency')->format($total);

After that, in your non OC page start a session if it's not already started, and add

<?php echo empty($_SESSION['currentTotal'] ? '$0.00' : $_SESSION['currentTotal']); ?>

In the place of your $123.00
