OK, looks like we're getting off track here! I don't want
a shopping cart system for on-line sales as such. What I
want to do is make the site dynamic so that when a customer
clicks on product categories, it pulls product info from a
MySLQ database. I just bought a PHP/MySQL book last night
and am working through it. I'll have to do a few mockups
to see what appeals to me and is the most functional. :-)
Thanks to everyone for their input so far.
David...
