Elvis Parsley Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I am totally new to php. I know nothing. So I need some inputs from you guys. I make static websites with HTML and CSS. I got a customer want to make web-shop with shopping cart, SSL, and dynamic pages. She has about 20 products and she is planning to increase up to 100 products. Well, what she meant by a dynamic page is that she wants to have an index page which changes products displays according to customers buying behaviour or web history. Or it just needs to change products displays each time when a customer go to the index page. I don't know where to start. So I bought a PHP and mySQL book and started reading. My question is that what is the best way to create this website. Where can I find the resources(books, websites etc) to create 1) this kind of dynamic website, 2) best shopping cart for PHP and Mysql. I will appreciate your inputs here. I must start somewhere. Oh my.... I know I've got a lot to do.... :'( Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/59967-php-and-e-commerce/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 i think your best bet is to goto hotcripts.com and get a well used shop and look at it and redesign the look and fill for it. designing a shop could cause you and client big problams if you dont no php so thinking the smart way would get a free shop script and redisgn the look and fill but at the same time look at the code and your new book and learn php slowly. good luck m8.

robgood Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I was in exactly your position about 4 months ago.... I have a total of 5 php and mysql books. The one i'd definitely would go for is "Build your own database driven website using PHP & Mysql 3rd edition' by kevin yank (sitepoint.com). Although it's far from comprehensive, it will explain, in easy to understand language, how to build a e-commerce site including CMS and simple shopping cart (It dosen't explain anything else). You can directly use the examples in the book for your own site. After that, id recommend 'PHP 5 and MYSQL Bible' or 'PHP and MYSQL web development third edition.' The kevin yank book will get you up and running quickly and you can use forums to fill in the gaps! good luck Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/59967-php-and-e-commerce/#findComment-298249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
