Jump to PostOSCommerce is an open source e-commerce platform. While I support open source in almost every aspect, dealing with clients' credit cards I do not, since open source is just that open source which means anyone can find holes in the system.
Jump to PostIf you're not sure what OScommerce is, than odds are you don't need it. :)
I think your first step should be to decide what type of project you want to focus on. Do you want to create a blog? A forum? etc
Jump to PostUhm, just wondering if you even googled osCommerce. It just happens to be a eCommerce software package under GNU GPL. I am assuming that you didnt know that though, because of all the questions, BTW it does run on php. SO I guess you don't need to learn any new …

Uhm, just wondering if you even googled osCommerce. It just happens to be a eCommerce software package under GNU GPL. I am assuming that you didnt know that though, because of all the questions, BTW it does run on php. SO I guess you don't need to learn any new languages, but if you really want to work with OScommerce go ahead and download the package and read through some documentation. That's how I start to understand projects. If you have your own php enabled server, you could probably set osCommerce up and tinker with it some. Open Source is ok, and for some things it is wonderful. When it comes to eCommerce though you definitely want a package that is stable and secure. And SECURE means using SSL so you better know about certificate signing and other stuff or at least have a ISP that knows how to set it up for you. Of course getting into Open Source projects is really simple. If you want php open source go to sourceforge.net and search for description:(PHP) . Look through those projects until one twinkles in your eye, and dig in. Download the package, read documentation, and let a new experience begin. ;)
