i've been doing some research around websites like www.dabs.com etc.
into how their shopping carts work. and it seems that most sites use
ASP.
i don't want to use asp.

So why are so many companies using ASP for their shopping carts, and
how if possible could i use php (and javascript?) to create my own
shopping basket.

if possible links to tutorials?

Thank you

Regards

Because there are billions of MCSE's out there with nothing better to
do.

Hi Adam,

Take a look at http://www.oscommerce.com/ it's FREE, uses php, is easy to
set up and has thousands of user contributed modifications.

Hope this s

PS: One of the reasons ASP is used is that your shopping cart can be stored
locally on your PC so that it can be restored on a later visit without
requiring registration etc.

You can do the same with PHP. Just use one big or multiple small
.

ASP is just another container for web applications.

The browser doesn't care whether the web application is ASP, PHP, Perl,
Python, EXE or heck a Command.com batch script. Just as long as it can
understand its output.
