Dido, I'm taking this project very slowly coz I have to learn everything from scratch. It's good to have a mailing list to turn to when I hit a dead end :) I hope that you won't tire in answering my questions :) And it's good know that u worked on the Pizza Hut Online ordering system urself, coz that system is exactly what I am trying to emulate :)
My mom sells fancy jewelry for women, which she makes herself. The product range is not at all plenty just 10 items. For the purpose of making the online ordering site for her... I am now studying PHP. In your opinion what else should I study? How were u able to fax the details of the order? Whats the use of the database backend? > Quick and simple answer: if you want to do an online ordering system, > the JavaScript is largely irrelevant.
