PHP shopping cart

[Ckelton]

I'm tyring to create a PHP shopping cart. At the moment i'm implementing the cookies and sessions.
Anyone know of how I could or where I could get information from.?I have used most major sites to help but, the extremely flexible nature of PHP means that there are so many ways of doing the same thing, so all the online tutorials differ and are confusing me. I've used Zend.com, PHP.net, phpfreaks.com, spoono.com among others. I just want a simple, well explained tutorial on how to create PHP shopping cart for a smallish website.

screw that search hotscripts.com for a shopping cart script. someone will have made one and uploaded the files for you to download and use. although there is a lot of fee demanding scripts, there are many free ones.
here is the link for php shopping cart scripts. have a look

it's better to refer the online script. But in this case, you can create yourself a simple shopping cart.
The idea here is you need a SESSION ( for ex: $_SESSION['ShoppingCart]['Good']['Amount'];
whenever customers want to add a cart (add to $_SESSION['ShoppingCart'] array), you just add it into SESSION.
And then, you build a page for payment. You load all information in SESSION and display.
I don't know about your scope. If you are amateur. It's suitable for you. However, there are many ways to develop it.
Good luck !
