Shopping Cart

Is there any tutorial where I can learn to create a shopping cart for an online store? If there isn't, can someone suggest a place where I can learn that from? I don't want to use PayPal integration.

Hello,

Google is your friend and you can simply search for PHP tutorials on building shopping carts. Now keep in mind that building shopping carts in PHP requires Object Oriented Programming most of the time; so unless you know PHP OOP you are going to have some difficulty understanding. If you want, you can wait til Monday and take the PHP OOP course and that can assist in understanding OOP. (It didn't take me long to master PHP OOP so hopefully it shouldn't for you) The following are a few tutorials I found on Google on how to build a simple shopping cart in PHP:

You can also take an existing shopping cart application like: http://www.sourcecodester.com/php/4220/how-build-shopping-cart-w-checkout-php.html and look at the code and learn from there.

Hope you find something that you can use.

Cheers!
