Can anyone recommend a good open source shopping cart solution? I built an
application for custom websites, now, I just need to interface to a shopping
cart. I'm using mysql. Any suggestions?
...looking for something easy.
Thanks,

Well...
Do you mean that you've created a storefront already and need a cart, or
do you need the whole thing? There really isn't any only cart software,
they all include a storefront.
From what I've seen, Zen Cart is pretty well featured and is open
source and free.

There are several tutorials that are just the cart, probably some minimal
code typing and fixing for your needs.
MyMarket found on SourceForge is one. There was one on Monkey Junkies.
FreeTrade is good.

I want my customer to be able to select a few options via radio buttons (12
months or 24 months - how many photos in their photo album, etc) that impact
the price. Then, I want the customer to click a "checkout" link that takes
them directly to a form to input billing address and credit card
information.
Any recommendations/guidance?
I'm calling around and speaking to payment gateways and merchant account
providers but wanted to tap into the open source community to see what's out
there that can fit my needs.
I really don't think this is that complex of a task, or maybe it is?
Thanks,
Ryan

No, it's not that complex. And if you want something simple, you may
want to make your own cart and use something like PEAR's Payment_Process
to deal with the payments.
That said, I believe that Zen Cart does product options, but don't quote
me on that, I've never actually used it myself, just looked. ;-)

That's very simple. If you don't mind writing a bit of specific code you
could do it in about an hour, there are many snippets of code for payment
processors that you could use. Try Hotscripts.com.

/619
very very simple. The problem with most e-commerce carts out there is that
they come with more then just the cart piece, they have all the product and
ancillary pages and you have to weed through their design. That's why I
suggest a tutorial as they usually only have the cart piece.

I need to pack() data in PHP according to a typedef'ed C format
structure, but there seems to be two problems (as per the docs:
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.pack.php).
First, in PHP there is no format option for "long signed integers,
big-endian byte order", just "signed long (always 32 bit, machine byte
order)". Or am I missing something?
Second—and I guess this is not a problem with PHP per se, just a
question of interpretation—the client specifications call for a certain
10-digit string to be packed as char (" char[10] "). But "char" is just
a single character right? Or do you think the docs essentially mean
packing it as an alpha? (Whose length can be specified.)
$str = "1234567890";
$packed = pack("a10string",$str);

IIRC, the goal of PNG is lossless output and it outputs that exactly
with PHP. What you send is what you get out. When you're using GD, I
suggest you make an 8 bit GD image resource, then make that into PNG.
There are several functions dealing with converting bit depth and such,
poke around the GD image reference section in the PHP manual.
Sorry if this is too vague, it's all off the top of my head but I think
it will give you enough to go on.

Hi Galen,
Many thanks for your reply. I tried to find things in the php manual
relating to bit depth, but I didn't find anything relevant:
http://www.google.co.jp/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=ja&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=site:www%2Ephp%2Enet+bit+depth
I haven't read every single one of the image functions in detail, but I
did look through them all, and at the moment I can't see anything that
allows me to manipulate the bit depth. The closest thing I can see is
the imagecolorstotal function which returns the number of colors in the
specified image's palette.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but if anybody knows about a
specific function that does this I'd be very interested to hear about it.
Many thanks in advance.

Sam,
OK, sorry, I only had a few moments before. Let's see if this points
you in the right direction.
Basically, you can have "standard" 8-bit images ("color") and then
"true" color images (24 bit). When you "create" the GD image resource,
you use a function to do that. One such function is imagecreate() -
this generates a palette based image that (IIRC, 8 bit or less) will
compress to that smaller PNG 8 file. imagecreatetruecolor() typically
makes full-depth ("true color") images that become PNG 24/32 and
support transparency and everything. You may find
imagetruecolortopalette() also of interest as it transforms a true
color image into a palette based image.
So the distinction is this: true color = 32 bit (24 bit + alpha
channel), palette based = exact number of colors + no alpha channel
I may be subtly wrong on a few of these smaller points, and please
accept my apologies if I am, but the gist is that you need a
palette-based image to get 8-bit PNGs!

Hi Galen,
Thanks for that - all sorted now. I had looked at
imagetruecolortopalette, but had not taken it on board. I'm now using
it as follows to get a balance between image quality and file size (for
png output):
imagetruecolortopalette ( $myImage, true, 64);
It's just remarkable how much better quality I can get for a given size
with jpeg as opposed to png - but then I'm unable to use jpeg for my
current application.
Many, many thanks for your help.

Hi,
I just visited a popular swedish based site that is mostly powered via ASP,
they have one little piece of functionality this is really puzzling me and I
would like to add it to one of my working apps (a shopping cart)...
Its a bit hard to explain so will give you the steps so you can go to the
site and see for yourself...Its all pretty much written in swedish but will
try to explain.
1. go to http://www.blocket.se/
2. on the right side of the screen there are some numbers (1 to 23) and next
to each number is a Swedish city...click on any one of them.
3. You should be presented by a lot of "text ads"...click on any one of them
to open them (the ones with teh little camera symbol at the side will also
display a pic of the product)
4.Scroll to the bottom of any ad and you should see " Spara i
Annonsbevakningen " which roughly translates to "save this ad"...click it.
It will save the ad for you (via cookies most probably..dont know for
sure...but I visited much later and even after I closed->reopened my browser
and revisited the site,it was still there)
5.Click the back button a few times so that you can save a bunch of
ads...then
This is the part I like, when you click on "Ta bort" next to any of your
saved ads ("Ta bort" means "Remove")...it just goes from the page...very
smooth and does not need for the page to be "script processed" again or
anything...HOW? What is it? Javascript..? DHTML? what?
Thanks,
-Ryan

In linux under Netscape 7 and Opera 7.2 it reloaded the page :/ That
said looking at the URL when the mouse is over the link:
http://www.blocket.se/new?caller=ogl_s&l=0&rm_id=2595475&city=0
The rm_id is being set as a GET variable with an appropriate ID to
remove the entry. So when the page reloads it first deletes the entry.
This is standard functionality in many websites.
Cheers,
Rob.

Hey Rob
<snip>
In linux under Netscape 7 and Opera 7.2 it reloaded the page :/ That
said looking at the URL when the mouse is over the link:
http://www.blocket.se/new?caller=ogl_s&l=0&rm_id=2595475&city=0
The rm_id is being set as a GET variable with an appropriate ID to
remove the entry. So when the page reloads it first deletes the entry.
This is standard functionality in many websites.
</snip>
Hmmm..for IE it didnt reload the page...or reloaded the page so fast that I
couldnt make out the reload and the product just seemed to
"disappear"...very smoothly...thats why I was impressed...
I did make a note of the rm_id and saw that everything was a GET
string....but didnt know how it was deleteing the text from the page so
fast...
Thanks,
-Ryan

It's fairly simple: at the top of your script, have a block of code similar
to the following, and have the link point to
--
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?rm_id=".$id_to_be_deleted
--
I'll leave out all but the essential elements.
<code>
<?php
if (isset($_GET['rm_id']))
{
$query = "REMOVE FROM whatever WHERE id = ".$_GET['rm_id']." LIMIT 1";
mysql_query($query);
}
?>
</code>

You might want to complain to your ISP that your connection is too
fast :)

The rendering is fast because its a simple page and utilizes the
browser's cache effeciently (css link, cached small images, etc.)

Also, I forgot to mention... another little snippet I like to use for
something like this is this meta tag:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Page-Enter" Content="blendtrans(duration=.1)">
It makes the pages fade into each other, and for two pages that are very
similar (like your example) it doesn't look like there's any reload at all.
It has a pretty cool effect when you up the "duration" and use it for
totally different pages too... it's just really fun to play with. Just
stick it into the header of your page.

How are you restarting the socket? From memory you can't just reuse a
socket you would need to create a new socket. What does netstat say
about the status of your connection before and after?
-> Periodically, send a Ping_DS to the Server
-> If the Ping_DS transmit fails
-> Clean-up and restart the socket connection
-> If a Ping_DS_Ack is not received from the Server
-> Clean-up and restart the socket connection
---THIS DOESN'T WORK----------------------

You can take a look at my 'system', its small (I use it in an
auto-prepend file) and pretty fast. You can view the code here
http://kwiktemplates.com/download.php and the syntax is here
http://kwiktemplates.com/ (still working on the site) Anything you
don't understand drop me a line.

I use one called phemplate, dont be scared of the same its pretty good and
follows the same ideology as the rest although check out the benchmark tool
of other engines which is supplied on the site.
http://pukomuko.esu.lt/phemplate/
I have been thinking of moving to smarty or i just wish there was a
templating standard, like a php equivalant to struts hehe.

How would I carry a variable from one page to another
Here is what I mean
I have a send.php page and this is sent to
insert_into_database.php where the values of the previous page are inserted
into the database.
I then use a meta=refresh to go to another page and evaluate the variable.
The problem is that I do remember how to carry the variable. I believed
that I used the meta before to carry it, but unsure. Any help would be
appreciated!

This could be done via GET by appending the values to the target URI:
insert_into_database.php?value1=$value1&value2=$value2&value3=$value3
On the next page you acces those values via:
$_GET['value1']
$_GET['value2']
$_GET['value3']
Here's the corresponding manual:
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.get
Hope this helps.
