Database needed for online store

Post by vitalsign0 »

Can anyone tell me, by looking, or what kind of system it would take to make an online store such as the ones found on cardkingdom.com and coolstuffinc.com? I'd like to do something similiar but cannot figure out what exactly they are using. Is it just a MySQL db on PHP?

Generally there is alot more to it than that. But yes, using MySQL and PHP, you can build a shopping cart. I would suggest you check out some of the pre-made products, like oscommerce (http://www.oscommerce.com). There are many more, just run a google search for open source shopping carts.
