Hi, I was like you and didn't know where to start with a cart. For a learning experience, I took an old perl4 store called Perlshop, and patched it up to what I wanted. You can look at it http://zentara.net/store It works, but is not the finest example of modern perl; but "use what works" has become my mantra. :-) and you can download the scripts to examine at http://zentara.net/downloads/perlshop-z.zip There is alot involved in maintaining the integrity of the form-data. Hackers will take your form, alter the price you have listed, and submit it, trying to get a "deal". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
