Scope creep approaching! He does not want to do any selling from his site, NOW. If you are going to go to the trouble to set us something especially an existing solution I would strongly recommend that you give the ability to grow into a cart based ecommerce site serious weight over those catalog only solutions that do not have that capability.

Re: [PHP] Catalog or cart
Ryan, Don't build your own. There are so many good things out there for free. It seems like you just need a simple cart that accommodates easy database entry. Like XCart, or OSCommerce, or the one others mention on this list. Jud.
