Designing a Cart
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:58 pm
I am a web designer and mostly use scripts to do a lot of my work, occasionally I change a few lines of code. Anyhow I am starting to get into the php side more it was a choice between ASP.NET or PHP I choose php because it seems to work more seamlessly and most of the resources are free.
I recently started editing a software package called JCart, it's a php shopping cart using AJAX and works very well, however it is a bit over-simple for what I wanted because I wanted to also use an SQL database and some of the code seemed a bit all-over the place.
So my solution was to develop my own system using PHP/MYSQL. I have a bit of experience with PHP just nothing major and I find it pretty easy to use.
Today I have created the index page, it queries the database and displays the products by printing each row. My next challenge will be to add these products (all virtual) to the checkout and then eventually perform a Paypal IPN check before the user is issued the virtual product via E-Mail.
I want to do all this using as little Javascript as possible... any guidance ?
Thanks in advance for any tips
