I am a web designer who has become fairly experienced with PHP/HTML/MySQL and would now like to learn how to implement a Shopping Cart (because I know I'm going to need to know how to do so in the future if I ever want to have a serious side business doing web design). 

 

Most things I read say it's not worth the time to build a shopping cart from scratch because there are so many pre-made carts available (both free and pay)

 

Therefore, does anyone recommend a particular one of these open-source carts as a good one for me to implement (and is also one that can help me understand how shopping carts work in general, if that makes any sense :) )

 

In other words, what is the best open source PHP Shopping Cart?

Each shopping cart software has different features and functionality. So, asking 'what is best' depends on what type of features you require: credit card integration, one click checkout, anti-spam system, delivery/tax/vat options etc.

 

I can't vouch for it, but Zen cart (http://www.zen-cart.com/) seems like a popular choice.

 

Give the demos a spin, if you like it then install it and play around. If you don't, use Google to find another one and play around with their demos.
