Hi all,

I do realize non-commercial sites for non-profit orgs, etc; but someone
asked me yesterday to build some site with products descriptions +
"add to cady" facility and payment facility:
- I'm new to such kind of sites, so do I need PHP? alone or PHP +
???what???
- URLs for more info are welcome too;
- tips regarding payment with bank cards etc, are welcome too

Aldo.

Basically as far as i encontered those systems they just require you to
deliver some $_POST data into specified url so that transaction gets
registered in payment database (in payment system delivered by
contractor) so in most cases (i encountered allpay.pl butt i guess they
are simmilar) you just write a form and redirect its data in a certain
way - usually company that provides those payment possibilities and wich
gains intrests on it - gives you some documentation at sign-in - inmy
case documentation was like 20 pages long and waqs extremly noob
friendly so no worries thats ann easy task and info is provided by
payment service provider.

Hello Aldo,

You would need to have a database to hold information about product
and/or services offered. Most hosting providers give access to MySQL
Database server. In order to process credit card payments you will need
a payment processor such as Paypal. (there are a great number of these
to choose from).

Good luck.

You will need to know how to code!
PHP is simply syntax for a programming language - if you are strugling
with this you have very little change given a limited time.
Better try an off the shelf cart package - oscommerce etc
