Hi,
I have to make my final year computer project(web based).
I basically want to make a shopping website with a shopping cart.
I am confused which technology I should use. Should I go for ASP .Net? Or PHP? or any other?
Also, it will be great if somebody can show sample coding for shopping cart.

Which language to use depends on which one you know better. If you don't know either, then just about everyone here would recommend PHP. But, this place is obviously biased

. I've never actually used ASP before, so I really can't help you there. I can say that I really like PHP.
I'm sure there are a million tutorials on the WWW. A quick google should give you plenty of information. There are also lots of opensource carts already available that you could look at.

Even I wanna do the same. I am planning for making a website with a shopping cart. What I exactly mean is that, a company which making all networking products and in it has the usual website of its + a shopping cart too. I know little bit oh php but not much. Would php make a good look of the site?? Can i use CSS with php? And about the open source software, is that really good? I can make from that? Can you recommend some of the software? My main aim is that it should look like live project?

In answer to all of your questions, yes. First, you must understand the differences and the applications of the technologies you mentioned. PHP is a server side scripting language. All PHP code in a page is evaluated by the server before being sent to the user's computer. If you right-click > view source on a PHP page on the internet, you will not see any PHP. It is invisible to the end user.
CSS is different. CSS is embedded in the page, or linked to from the page. Any user can see your CSS.
PHP output will look however you make it look.
