Hello :) ,
to all those PHP programmers please help me creating a script, here's what I need:

The website I'm working on have different cathegories. One of this cathegories is the PRODUCTS cathegorie. Here's where the script works. This cathegorie should behave similar to an e-commerce site, so users should be able to browse through different products cathegories and then add to cart products and the respective qty's . At checkout, the user must fill a simple form with name, email, adress etc., and they should be able to view and modify what they have in the cart. Finally , when the form is submitted, it should send to my email recipient the values from the form fields plus the products an qty's selected by the user (the cart content).

So I don't need credit card processing, tax calcultion, shippment, or nothing like that, just to receive the cart content from the users by email.

I think that's all, please help me.

Thanks a lot.

You want to be very careful what you send to yourself by email. The email will be transmitted clear text to your email server. Then your email client will read it clear text unless it is using a secure protocol. This could be dangerous if there is any private information in the email.

I sell a software package that does what you have described, and much more at a very attractive price.

Go to http://www.mawebcenters.com/friend to evaluate the software.

Give me a call if you are interested. My number is on the website listed above.

I am also looking for individuals that would like to help market the software to businesses. I am willing to pay a qualified individual a 50% commission on the net profit of the sale of the software package.

The description is a standard cart system without any payment options.. there are a lot of free and commercial carts out there, look at sites like sourceforge, freshmeat and hotscripts.. osCommerce is quite popular.. so is PHPshop, although version 0.6.1b (0.6.2) which is the newest (over a year old now) is quite buggy and has a very inefficient structure (tons of queries per request), and a couple of bad spots with insecure code..

If you don't know much about PHP you are probably best off purchasing a cart software or service with support...
