I'm planning on selling things online.. It's been a long time since I've made any websites and I never learned anything fancy. How do you make separate pages for each item that you sell without writing out the html by hand? Is there a way to do this using PHP?? This might have been talked about already but I have no idea how to search for it using keywords..

ok, i've got three choices for u:

http://www.oscommerce.com/

http://www.osc2nuke.com/

http://mymarket.sourceforge.net/

i have tested oscommerce and osk2nuke....

the only problem i have had is the smtp.. i haven't been able to get e-mail confirmation of the selled stuff... but it may be a server thing

hey man, thanks for the links! My father was wanting to set something up online, so now I can actually tell him where to go.

Are these all programs I have to pay for to use for a business?

No!!!!!

This are CMS (content managment system) and it's opensurce that's means... FREE!!!!

Awesome! Thanks for all the help. Now I just have to figure out how to use it, lol.

There are serveal good shopping carts in the script addon section in cpanel. All you have to do is click the link and the are installed for you, all you have to to then is customize it to the look and feel of your site.

With the fact that it is just as easy to uninstall them as well, you should test them all out to see which one will best meet your needs and which one is easiest for you to comprehend.

pbolduc, do u know any example of a shooping cart using the cpanle option you mentioned????

You can use netstore that is a system that is automatic a plug-in that is useful for dreamweaver is mx, frontpage etc
