Those e-commerce sites that have a small box with your shopping-cart contents that gets updated without reloading the whole page... how is it done?

You are most likely referring to AJAX. It's basically a combination of server & client side scripting. PHP and Javascript does the trick quite nicely. Search Google for it, there are some good tutorials.
