Hello,

I volunteered to make a website for someone, although I've never done a professional one for a company before (he has a small business). He wants to sell sports gear/memorabilia on his site, and I've never made an e-commerce site before. I know php and mysql but how do you make it so someone can buy things on your website?

Thanks,
diode :)

You need to look for a shopping cart system. There are lots of good freebies out there. Check out osCommerce, Zen Cart and Cube Cart. They are all good carts. Zen Cart is based upon osCommerce and is my favorite.

FYI. You will need some PHP programming skills to modify these carts.
