Sure, just check Google and look into doing includes, templating, and using .htaccess with mod_rewrite - an Apache feature and module, respectively, thus beyond the scope of PHP - to rewrite the URL's. What this will do, essentially, is create a "prettier" URL, so something like: http://www.example.com/path/to/cart.php?product_id=1234&group=987 .... could become: http://www.example.com/p987/1234.html .... or really anything else that you'd like, depending on how you write your scripts. Again, though, the full creation of those is really outside the scope of this list as well, but there are plenty of open source scripts out there from which you can learn, modify, and reuse free-of-charge for a commercial webstore. -- </Daniel P.
