Any hint would be very much appreciated. SAM'S published a PHP book some years ago that had just such an app in "demo" form, on CD, included. A big purple book. The app was basically a shopping cart system, but it was specifically for books. Might be a good way to learn something and a good framework for further customization. Given that it's a few years old, though, you'd want to definitely do some reading on security best procedures and changes since PHP 4 As for the rest of the discussion, a bookshop could easily be most of the standard cart-type apps. Since they have only a few characteristics, it's much easier than, for example, retail clothing ;-) HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The only thing that books differ from a general webshop / e-commerce is ISBN and authors. In any case, a good e-commerce solution should have UPC/ISBN since every product is identified by UPC/ISBN regardless of the industry. So what I suggest is look for a good open source e-commerce solution that has most of the features you're looking for and just implement additional fields in the db for ISBN, authors, publishers (manufacturers?) and some additional php code. It beats writing an e-commerce from scratch and helps you better understand that solution you're implementing. >> >> Sorry, Ali, I can't help you either. >> >> -- >> PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] open source bookshop
Hello all, Thanks very much for your kind feedback sofar. I know of many shop and cms systems written in php. However, what I am looking for is a system developed specifically for books. And, as mentioned hier such a system has its own specific requirements that other generic systems do not meet. Ali - Original Message - From: "O.

Sounds like you're looking for an e-commerce solution. You mean a webshop? Did you search for 'open source e-commerce' ? It could be that a bookshop has specific requirements that a generic webshop application can't meet.
