I'm sure you Googled for this, but "password strength" brought up 
some interesting results. The most interesting/informative for me was:


http://www.securitystats.com/tools/password.php

I think the site is a bit dated, but it's good information.

To force your users to have a "secure" password, you could provide 
tools to help them, such as a password generator (one that would suit 
your security concerns) or provide a "strength meter" and then only 
accept those with the appropriate strengths.


I have code, but some might refer to it as kiddy-script caliber.

Please let me know if I can help.

I have not used squirrelcart, but I do really like eShox
(http://www.eshox.com) most of my clients use it and it has great
configurability.

Most of my clients use either Authorize.net or 2checkout.com, both seem to
work quite well, especially with eshox.

Cheers!

PayPal has some pretty impressive inter-active programming API's. Other
then that, the only suggestion I could make is try and steer clear of
AuthorizeNET.

I'm not sure about bCentral, but Yahoo bought out a company called
Viaweb quite a few years ago (for about $48 million!!) and they provide
a fully-hosted solution.  This is great for non-technical users who just
want to build their own store with a "point and click" interface.  I
would presume that because you are on the PHP list either you are
looking to install one of the carts mentioned, build your own or
customise someone elses offering because you have bespoke needs that one
of the sites like Yahoo! Cannot meet

> 2. If I were to look for a website hoster, any recommendations?

Hoho.  You'll get as many recommendations as replies I'm sure.  I'd
suggest going to www.webhostingtalk.com and just hanging around to see
what good and bad stuff is said about various hosts and make your mind
up.  Some things you need to think about though do you need a host or
dedicated server and if it is just a host then you need to see what
features they have and provide for PHP guys...  

Hope this helps a little

The best ecommerce shop I have found that runs in PHP and MySQL would be
eShox.. a very very very well done shop.  At the core it WAS oscommerce, but
it has been modified and rewritten so that it is way more then oscommerce
ever was and ever will be :)  Way more secure and just plain a great
program.

I just got finished building a site for a customer who wanted OSCommerce
(didn't want to pay for a 'real' shopping cart, or for me to build him

worst in most aspects.

First off, it won't install or run if you have register_globals off.
When I saw this, I said to myself, "this isn't so bad if they're writing
secure code, but it opens up ALL the code on the site."  Then I started
configuring it (hacking it) to fit the customers wants and desires, and
found a few areas where it could be compromised.

Second, the code looks like it was written by someone who originaly had
no intention of releasing this code to the world.  It's sloppy,
unorganized, and poorly (if at all) commented.  Compare the code from an
application like phpMyAdmin to OSCommerce to see what I mean.

The only thing I have positive to say about it, is on it's ease of use
for the end user who wants to run an online store, but doesn't know
diddly about computers.

Until they fix the first issue, I will continue to recommend against
OSCommerce.

Hehehe that wasn't quite the point I was trying to make :)

Only storing 20 is less risk than 20,000.  Storing zero is the safest.

Reminds me of the signs that you see in some stores -- "Our staff do not have

So you can have on your website "Hackers please note we only store twenty

I'm not a security expert at all, so don't consider this advice anything
more than "suggested for further reading".

This is a big can of worms.  To transmit them, you need to transmit them via
SSL (https://).  Talk to your host about this.

To store them in an encrypted manner, you should look at mcrypt() PHP
functions, and some of the MYSQL encrypting functions...  Both have special
server requirements, and you'll need to be WAAAY careful of where and how
you store the encryption keys (passwords).  Especially on a shared server.
Ask your host how THEY handle CC#'s, if at all.

Needless to say, this is not light work.  You should seriously consider
paying someone to do this properly for -- at least the first time, and try
to learn off them.  You should spend lots of time talking with your host
about security holes, and most importantly, you should destroy the cc
details as soon as you no longer need them -- 20 cc#'s stored is less
desirable to a hacker than 2000, or 20,000 cc#'s.

I'm not a bank.  The owner of the store needs to ask their bank.

So initially you would just store/transmit the credit cards securely (a
whole other can of worms!!), and process them manually offline.  I'd
recommend this for any start-up e-commerce site, because it cuts down some
development, start up costs and saves the margins that an online credit-card
merchant takes.

When and if you decide to automate the credit card process (authorising and
charging the card), it's done through a merchant.  This will totally depend
on your circumstances and budget, but you basically pass the details to a
third party that specialises in this stuff, like authorise.net (and hundreds
of other similar business'), a bank or financial institution etc etc.

All of them will have different procedures and code, but you basically pass
them the details, they pass back a "success" or "failure", charge the credit
card, take their % cut (everything from a flat fee like $1, through to 3% or
5%), and pass on the rest to you.

There are further options above and beyond this, but they'd be out of
reach/budget of almost any small-medium e-comm site.

JUstin,

Thanks a lot...
Hmm... I gues for the beginning I would go and process the purchases
manually. Later on if the purchases increase, than I would opt for
proccesing credit cards via the server.
Can you please give me some details on this? I know php, have Apache on a
Win2k machine.

Many thanks,
gabi.

Do you want to ACCEPT credit cards (process the purchases manually), or
PROCESS credit cards via the server.

There's a big difference.

You could try searching for "php mysql commerce" on any of the
following:

www.google.com

www.freshmeat.net

www.hotscripts.com

Where you'd probably find what you're looking for.

Does anyone know where I can find the best (not just good) shopping cart
solution that
also has small intranet functionality?

Im not too worried about the intranet aspect right now, but I really need
examples of some
of the best carts that are out there.
