shopping cart system
how difficult would it be to implement a shopping cart system on a template that ive downloaded? the site would not have to connect to a database, simple simulation is enough.
I have dreamweaver and frontpage, but no knowledge of php. |

If you dont have any programming knowledge, its probably going to be a bit difficult. There may be some solutions out there that just plug right in, but most are probably going to require some configuration at the least.
Also, most shopping cart systems cost money. There are probably some free ones out there somewhere, but Ive never heard of them. Doesnt mean they dont exist, just that Ive never heard of them.

Dreamweaver has some pre-cooked PHP code that hooks to databases. All I've really done is noted its existence and disapproved of the code it barfs out, but maybe you could use that to build something?
Failing that, I recommend OSCommerce (http://www.oscommerce.org). It's PHP, it's Open Source, and it works. It won't play nice with your templates, though, it'll want to run the whole site for you. |

he says its just simulation. if this means your cart can just be static html pages then you can go that route. though it would be much simpler to template some parts of the page in php or something, then you can just call the php functions to print say header and footer and any nav bars.
if you really want to get into the php you could just put data in static text files then parse the data out to build the page.

I saw a post on Slashdot talking about this just a few days ago. Here's the link:
