Good Evening to everybody!
I am a student and learning php, we have been given an assignment to create a very basic e-commerce website. Which does the basics like:
- Add to basket,
- Remove from basket,
- Remember User,
- Log In user, Log Out user,
We will be learning databases and mysql soon, i have done some research and have landed nowhere.. can somebody direct me to a good php e-commerce tutorial website? or maybe to a tutorial that does atleast some of the above points ive mentioned.
I do not want any php tutorials, im after tutorials based on e-commerce or some of the points ive mentioned above. My deadline isnt very, its due in a months time and were all going !
Id be very greatful if somebody can help me here.
Thanks a million!
Regards,

For the login/logout part your should research Apache Sessions, thats the most popular method to quickly get accounts and loggins working. You could use the session data storage area in your cart/basket too.
As for e-commerce tutorials, I think you'd be better reading some generic PHP/SQL tutorials and getting to grip with the basics.
Theres nothing much different from a shopping card and a message board, both are dynamic database driven web apps.

Actually...just how much of a tutorial are you looking for? I could whip something up for you quickly depending on how detailed you wanted it to be.

You would use cookies to remember the apache session. The apache session to login/logout. To add/remove from basket, i think I would use mysql.

Since this is just an assignment -- you should use the technologies that are part of the requirements as this is not a project that you intend to launch, just a way to teach you the flow of information required for a shopping cart website, and teach you about Internet programming basics (handling sessions, user accounts, login/logout, cookies, database interaction and workflow).
After your course on databases, things should start making more sense
