Programming a Shopping Cart

As someone who never shops online, I know nothing about how to do this. So basically, does anyone have some links to tutorials dealing with shopping carts (using PHP and MySQL)? Of course, I know how to program PHP well enough, but I don't know anything about security (for example, using credits cards, PayPal, etc.), and I've been having difficultly finding anything worthwhile on Google.

Any help is very appreciated.

Would be a good start. The credit card facility the company I work for uses

I doubt they are the best out there. I am actually looking forward to the results of this topic.

I don't know of any good tutorials, but when I created my first shopping cart I used a book called PHP and MySQL Web Development (2nd Edition) by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson published by Developer's Library. I made a surprisingly successful shopping cart with their help, but of course you need to have good programming and PHP skills to fill in the spots left out.
