where to get internet store tools?

[sundog]

I am planning to sell items on an Internet store. I have my own ISP which
supports php and mysql. I do not want to reinvent the wheel. I would like
to buy the tools I need to get on-line reasonable quickly. Most businesses
are all the same, customers, items for sale, inventory etc. I am looking
for reusable code at a reasonable price.



I do not wish to host my business on a commerce site, which charges monthly
fees, I have my own ISP which I am happy with. I also have a linux
development system with apache and mysql for test purposes. Could someone
please point me to web sites that sell such products or to other news groups
which I could search.

Henk, since you suggested this, have you visually been
through each of the over 1,000 files associated with the
downloaded file package? I was astounded after downloading
it, and when I went to upzip it I found so many. What on
Earth are they all FOR?

No Larry, I haven't looked at each and every file in the distribution,
only the ones that interested me.
A lot of those 1000+ files are images, language files etc., so there are a
lot of duplicates functionality wise. But it is a pretty
comprehensive package. The number of files reflects that.
