PHP and AS3 shopping cart

[Dimitree]

Well I want to make a shopping cart in AS3 that will be connected with PHP.
I made a little reseach but haven't find something tha works with AS3.
Any hint where I should start first?
I am not sure If it is better to arrays for the product list or database...
Actually have no programming experience in PHP so any help will be appreciated!:ne:

If you don't have much programming experience it's going to be a crap shoot. I'd probably start with learning database connectivity, then connectivity between Flash and PHP. Where are the products coming from? Are they going to be hard coded in Flash?

I think you're in over your head.

If you want your shopping cart to be secure, I would definitely brush up on coding skills. Making a cart just as a learning exercise would be a great idea, but when you start dealing with people's money, you should really know what you're doing or else you could open yourself up to a host of legal problems.

That said, there is a great video tutorial series for PHP on how to build a shopping cart here:
http://www.phpvideotutorials.com/

It's $15 but I think it's well worth it.

No, no it 's just a college assignment... sorry not to mention that. (so security issues are supposed to be "ignored" for this project)
I was thinking of making design in Flash "just a simple list of products" and then connect to PHP to do the calculation. I know the connection between PHP and AS3 but this is the first time I ll work with databases.

i think you should look for the tutorial in this site (www.kirupa.com) about Flash, PHP,and MySQL integrations.
maybe that will help you.

We have a AS3 flash cart that is the works and will giving a few away for free just to get some feedback on it, I will make sure to give you a heads up when its complete, it will use PHP especially for its admin panel so you will be able to add, edit, delete products easily.

We basically wanted to build something for the designer in mind. I'll send you a PM Dimitree when the time comes, we will have news about it here:

I just sent a message to you through the site. I'd like to get a copy if you're still giving them out. Looks very nice though, Thanks!!
