something out there affordable.

I'm pretty sure there's lots out there for under $100, but almost none
will be exactly what you want, and almost all will require you to invest
hours of your own time to make them work the way you want... which will
most certainly equate to $100s of dollars.

Cheers,
Rob.

Do you  have any suggestions?  Right now I use the one through Paypal, but 
it would be too difficult for my client to add their own  merchandise.  I 
could pay more, but not much more.  Do you recommend any good ones or 
someone that could write one.  OScommerce was way too hard and offer too 
many options.  I don't need a powerful one like that.  Just a good basic 
shopping cart, but good for client side.
thanks,

Well I have no idea.  I can't spend $100's but hope that there would be
something out there affordable.

This apparently is a common theme -- "I want a good basic shopping cart that works AND I don't want to pay over $100 for it."

Well... I want a good basic car and not pay over $100 for it too. But, everyone knows that those two wants are mutually exclusives. My question is, why aren't shopping carts viewed in the same common sense perspective?

What's the reason?

Is it because its software and people say "Well.. you have already spent the time, so why not charge less for it or just give it away" kind of things." They don't do that with cars, they don't say "Hey, it's already built, so charge less for it."

Or perhaps they don't understand that a "good basic" solution is NOT simple, nor trivial, nor inexpensive.

Or, perhaps in their proposal to their clients they underestimated the worth of a "good basic" shopping cart?

Or, perhaps they don't want to spend their time to take a "free" shopping cart and make it work for their clients because they intrinsically know that it will take their time, which has worth to them, but at the same time don't appreciate the work of others to do the same thing?

I don't know what the reasons are, but it is one of those situations that begs the question why.

ibase_errcode() is php5 only. I highly recommend you use php5 if using the ibase
extension - the php5 extension is light years ahead of it's php4 counter part.

I'm still looking for an inexpensive shopping cart to use on my client's website. Something they can easily update their products, prices, photos, etc once I set it up for them. It must be very simple for them to use.
Anyone write any shopping cart scripts that might work?
thanks,
