SSL AND SHOPPING CARTS

Post by JPlush76 »

To do an ecommerce with SSL I have to set it up with my host right? Do you have to change anything in your php code to process something in SSL?

Also, has anyone here written your own shopping cart system? I'm using oscommerce and its a nightmare trying to read through 20,000 lines of code.

What are the top keys to writing your own shopping cart to make it sturdy and stable?

Thanks all :)

Don't need to change anything. Just use the PHP files under https.

how about the quality of the shopping cart itself...

I'm thinking about re-doing my companies shopping cart in php and right now I'm using oscommerce but its a pain to modify. Right now they do about 1.3 million a year from the website so I don't know if my intermediate coding skills could design a cart capable of handling that volume.

Anyone have any good links to an OOP cart class tutorial?

I've searched but haven't found anything real great

ah I Found the article that made me think of this..

http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/php- ... -cart1.php

the writer says:
Important Note: Before I begin my discussion, let me state clearly that, as with all critical web scripts, the following script will only function on small to medium-sized web sites. I have chosen this spotlight to illustrate the basic principals of this common web-site feature and should be considered for educational purposes only.
why will it only function right on a small to medium and what constitutes a small to medium site?

isn't it based more on hardware needs for a larger site?

That's things to do with SQL queries (using INDEX etc.)...
