Re: [PHP] Shopping Cart Solutions
As everyone has said osCommerce is a good cart program, but if you need a serious customized solution then you are going to need to either spend your time foucsing on that app and get into it, or your going to want to find something a little less polished and more just foundation, not saying osCommerce doesnt have a good foundation, its just that its more of a finished and therefore has a more defined set of rules to work with it. FreeTrade is a good app, they have moved several times you'll have to google it. PHPShop I never really liked, more of a personal decision.

Re: [PHP] Shopping Cart Solutions
I had been doign interchange back when it first changed names to Interchange, I havent used it since it was aquired by Redhat, no particular reason just personal preference. Here is the link to FreeTrade. I believe the Restoration Hardware site started with this code, they have since gone bigger and better, but its a great starting place. This is will get you a site up and running, but this is pretty much framework. http://share.whichever.com/index.php?SCREEN=freetrade From: Stephan Becker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Shopping Cart Solutions Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 14:07:33 +0200 Well take a look into interchange. http://www.icdevgroup.org This Shop Engine has a nice demo catalog called foundation. Take it, adopt it and your set for the most of all things you want to achieve. There is a lill tutorial which guides you through the basics of interchange and leaves you with a skeletton but functional catalog after 3-4 hours of reading and typing. Installation is a bit tricky but I managed it though within a couple of hours of try and error. If you eventually pass that phase of learning you could do it easyliy again within 10 minutes. One thing left to mention: It´s Perl not PHP. But I´am on the issue to wrap it into a modul .. ;) Stephan Didier McGillis [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: [PHP] Shopping Cart Solutions
I'll give a big +2 to all of this. I spent a great deal of time writing a program for customizing various aspects of osCommerce. After a while, I just dropped the project because it was becoming a tangled web of code and not at all my style.
