phpShop is a PHP-powered shopping cart application. It is released under the GNU General Public License. phpShop has less features that many other shopping cart applications, but is generally easier to customize. All that is required to effectively customize phpShop is a basic knowledge of HTML, PHP, and SQL.
phpShop is written in PHP and therefore requires the PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. phpShop also requires a database; phpShop currently supports MySQL for this purpose.
The original developers of phpShop needed to build a shopping cart web site. Other solutions were fairly complete but much too complicated to learn since they used their own tag language or were based on early CGI scripting languages.
