First off, sorry if this has been asked a thousand times before. I thought it would have but i cant find anything.

I have been asked to make an online shop for my old boss. It would be a very small site with very little scripting behind it ( I assume). She likes the idea of having a shopping basket, so thats what i need to do. Without cheating and using paypal, how would I go about setting up a basket system? Taking credit card details is preferable, but not essential if its too much bother with security issues. All I really want is to be able to accumulate product details that my boss can recieve along with contact/address details to ship out. I would love to do it in Flash as I do with everything else if it's all the same, but I'm thinking i should do it in HTML as its my first try. Thanks in advance all.

Well.. A vast knowledge of daabsing, text file management and PHP is needed from the onset...

COOKIES are a pain in the *** but needed as well... Which means you need to make stable ones (good luck)...

In Flash? It may be easier to a point... Whereas.. You can have an array hold all of the items after they click.. Buy this... and then.. The only transferring or figuring out would be at the end with the payments... With a PHP page.. You would have to have session or cookies or text files remember a certain area for you to be able to do that... I could give you a method to make a very encrypted version if you needed one btw... :)

Vast knowledge? Ah crap. Anything you can give me would be great, i don't mind blagging it coz i'm getting paid peanuts and everything about the company is a bodge anyway! I assumed this was a common question with generic open source i could work with... never mind. Thanks a lot for your help, the cc encryption was my main worry.

Yeah... If they aren't paying you crap for it.. CC Encryption alone isn't even worth the hassle.. i would MAKE them go through Paypal and say.. DEAL! hehe
