Many PHP applications are based around a shopping cart Ð a user selecting a series of products from around a site, which are then presented as a total order, cost is added up, then is checked out. This module is an example of such a script, and covers issues such as handling user entry errors, selection of products by category where you have too many products to fit on one page, cleaning up aborted order files, and accepting credit card payments on line.
