    Shopping Cart FAQ, with a twist

    I know this is a FAQ. But the answer still isn't clear,
    regardless dozens of previous threads.

    I want to invest (time and perhaps money too) in
    php-based shopping cart software. But--as a developer--
    I want to work with a system adaptable to my
    own automatic page generation libraries.

    A quick look at OSCommerce was dissapointing because
    OSCommerce requires register_global s to be on, while
    my system has it turned off. I don't mind spending
    money ( < $500 ) but I do want well-written, modular
    oop code that lends itself well to extension and modification.

    What's the best system to work with?

      sounds harder than it is, shopping carts are easily written, use a session,
      and store the SKU's (item numbers) in an array along with QTY.

      or are you looking for an entire thumbnail, browsing, shopping site?

          Complete system? Yes.

          Checkout previews, credit card prevalidation,
          shipping costs as a function of weight times zip code,
          storing previous transactions, cookie based
          customer info (street address, email, etc),
          all that stuff adds up to a lot of code.
