hi all,

i just completed a php/mysql shoppping cart (using phpshop)

http://www.frompariswithlove.com.au

and was wondering what people thought of the out of the box shopping scripts eg. phpshop or oz-commerce, or any others

OR

if many people are creating carts from scratch and how long did it take people to start from scratch, mine took about a month including filling the DB.

if i were to startup an e-commerce site, i'd probably purchase it. saves me time and money that way. plus, i'd hate to take the risk of coding a shopping cart that contains vulnerabilities that out of the box solutions have already fixed.

darn good idea.

can you recommend the best cart to purchase?
and how much would you spend?

when i search i just see so many shonky carts 4 sale i think that id rather modify a free one.
