i recently implemented this in a custom module.

controller_action_predispatch_checkout_cart_updatePost

this event get calls exactly when pressed clear cart.

in the observer you can check if the method was called for empty cart:

$post = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost('update_cart_action'); // get value if ($post == 'empty_cart') { // perform logic $quote = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote(); //quote $allQuoteItems = $quote->getAllItems(); // quote items // do code }

Hope it helps.

The object returned by getQuote is a Mage_Sales_Model_Quote. It has a method getAllItems which in turn returns a collection of Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Item objects.

All this means you can inspect products like this:

$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote();
foreach ($cart->getAllItems() as $item) {
    $productId = $item->getProduct()->getId();
    $productPrice = $item->getProduct()->getPrice();
}

PS. The reason you get a blank page is because dumping a whole object likely fell into recursion and the page timed out, or PHP ran out of memory. Using getData or debug is safer but, as you saw, doesn't return the protected/private variables.
