Any that ARE well written. Donning my flame-retardant underwear... No. They all suck. There is no decent security-concious well-designed Open Source / Free PHP Shopping Cart available to date. So examine all the big-name ones and see where they went wrong. Let the flames begin. Or not, as I'm betting not one of you can say something I haven't heard yet... ------------------ No flaming from me, I would add fuel to the fire. First of all, unless you are really a newbie, do not ever use a shopping cart solution which hackers could download to analyze the flaws. Second, like you, I think they all suck. Either they have too many bells and whistles, or are poorly coded, or have includes calling includes calling includes. The best example of this is OsCommerce, because it has the three flaws listed above. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
