What to create Shopping Cart with?

[exprexion]

What is the most popular/ best/ easiest, scripting language for creating shopping carts? Is it using mySQL and php? Does anyone know of shopping cart tutorials for dummies? I've tried following tutorials before, and was lost by the time they started with cookies and sessions.

Any logical combination is fine. Whethed it be ASP/MS SQL, .NET/MS SQL, PHP/MySQL, JSP/MySQL, etc.

If your serious about it, its best to do a beginners programming course or tutorial first. Then you will understand the concepts when creating a shopping cart.

The following Web Sites offer good tutorials:

- www.w3schools.com
- www.asp101.com
- www.php.net

Exprexion, what kind of shopping cart are you looking for? Paypal offers a really easy method of adding items to a cart.

If you're looking for something more professional, you might want to do what I did: Found a webhost which set it up all for me.

Well, I'm trying to figure out whether Web designers need to script in order to be employable :)

Ah, ok. Disregard my previous comment then.
