Hi Ryan OS Commerce does all that you are asking for. http://www.oscommerce.com It has options to set up various types of products/downloads and various payment options (paypal, credit cards etc). It is easy to install and use. Best regards, Ma Sivakumar -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Try http://www.google.com next. Searching for php YOUR QUERY may fetch you relevant information within the first 10 results. 3. There is a searchable archive of the mailing list discussion at http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the common topics are discussed repeatedly, and you may get answer to your query from the earlier discussions. For example: One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is Best PHP editor. Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get all the opinions by going through the list archives. If you want a chosen list try this link : http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/ (contributed by Christophe Chisogne). 4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want find out what extensions are available to you? Just put the following code into a file with a .php extension and access it through your webserver: ?php phpinfo(); ? If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot of information on it. If PHP is not installed (or not working correctly) your browser will try to download the file. (contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W Parker) 5. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself.

After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 3) and ask for help. 6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you modify any the user side settings. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. On the other hand, you can access the information that is SENT by the user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can find details about browser, OS etc as reported by this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker. 7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line.

One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 3) and ask for help. 6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you modify any the user side settings. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. On the other hand, you can access the information that is SENT by the user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can find details about browser, OS etc as reported by this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker. 7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like Help!!, A Question etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. 8. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail composer and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message. 9. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their email when posting solutions.

Not sure if PHP is working or you want find out what extensions are available to you? Just put the following code into a file with a .php extension and access it through your webserver: ?php phpinfo(); ? If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot of information on it. If PHP is not installed (or not working correctly) your browser will try to download the file. (contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W Parker) 5. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 3) and ask for help. 6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access the users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. On the other hand you can access the information that is SENT by the user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can find details about browser, OS etc as reported by this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker. 7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line.

[PHP] PHP not reporting errors, but hangs!!
I am running Apache/PHP with Postgresql. For the past one day, whenever there is an error in the php script, instead of reporting the error, the page takes forever to load. Normal html pages load properly. Can someone points me to the right direction on how to fix this.

[PHP] Accessing a form variable before the form is posted
My function for generating a select menu for a city sets the select name to form[city_id]. In one of the forms, there is a selection for City in the address details as well as one for the port of destination. If I use the function both the the select name will be form[city_id]. The port of destination selection overwrites the form[city_id] from the selection of City. Is there a way to access the first form[city_id] for assigning to another variable? In short is it possible to access a variable from the form before the form is posted?

Re: [PHP] Accessing a form variable before the form is posted
Thanks for the help
Duncan Hill wrote:
Use different variable names. Or make your function return a value, and
use assignment to handle it.
Finally I made the function to take the select name as an optional variable
and used different names for the two. This helped me in other situations
also. Thanks a lot.
