Hello All
I have put together a website Shopping cart with php and MySql. I chose the combination without any research and am now thinking is there a better combination that deals with a shopping cart situation i.e the concurrency issue of multiple shoppers accessing the database and keeping that database up to date real time, salvaging items that have been put in the cart and removed from the database but the session timed out without a purchase. Are there any other
issues i should consider?
I am especially interested in what the advantages/disadvantages asp.net, java and php have over each other in the implementation of a shopping cart
How would you approach a shopping cart and why? Any suggestions welcome.
Also i have put all the stock in one table just in case the customer wants to see all the stock, is there a way of diplaying different tables in the same set of results? Sorry to ask so many questions but i am new to these issues and have several shopping carts to do for different businesses and want to avoid pitfalls as well as know what the pros and cons of the different technologies are.
Thanks in anticipation.
Paul
