Online store tutorial

[TaiChi56]

Where can I find a good tutorial to create an online store with PHP. I have been looking on the Internet and only found one. The others are done in ColfFusion. I would like to create one this Summer. I am trying to avoid having to buy a book. If you do know of an awesome book for this though, please let me know. Thank you.

I don't think you will find a book on this specific topic. The only function that an e-commerce application provides that other PHP database-backend applications don't is the ability to collect funds.

a good starting point book- which contains a working e-commerce script, with explainations on how and why it was built that way among other things is php and mysql web development by Luke welling and laura thompson, published by Sams books- you can get a copy of the book sans the cd with the code online in pdf formatt to access if it's what you need.

Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

I agree with Darncat.
SAMS has brought out a book PHP, MySQL and Apache in 24Hours which has a project in one of its chapters as to creating a storefront, shopping cart and authorisation. BRILLIANT!
