Hi,

There are many shopping carts that are already built ready for donwload. Writing one from the ground up can be very difficult to almost impossible for a newbie programmers. I am not trying to discourage your motivation to dream big, but programming techniques and methods are learned overtime.

For now, pratice on oscommerce, zen cart, and many other open source. Have yourself familiarized with the source codes and learn from them.

As a learning project, creating a shopping cart can be great fun. However, if you wish to implement one as part of a real online store, use a trusted one. These also allow easy-ish and secure connections to payment gateways.

I agree with veedeoo - this type of project is a big ask if you're just starting out. If it's just to develop your skills, then a smaller scale project may be better, e.g. running a simple football league system.
