Greetings All,
I am looking at creating an extremely simple shopping cart.

I have already made the script that would allow me to add categories and products, along with displaying those categories and products. The script also allows me to edit/delete and add new categories and products.

However, I would like visitors to be able to view products then add them to a virtual shopping cart. Once the product is stored in the shopping cart, he can then click checkout.

My checkout is going to be a bit different. I do not allows users to sign in or register because we are only offering 10-20 products, however, when they add products to the shopping cart, it will be stored based on sessions that are logged by cookies.
Now, when they click submit, it will ask them for their EMAIL, FULL NAME, TELEPHONE, and ADDRESS. Once they fill it in and submit, the products they choose and their information will be emailed as a purchase order to my email inbox.

Can anyone guide me to a script that does this or help me make one? I am lost and need some urgent help. Thanks.

    While I don't have a specific suggestion, I do have a word of advice: don't sacrifice security in the name of simplicity. If a shopping cart is "simple" mainly because it ignores many issues surrounding the security of customer data and accuracy of monetary transactions, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot by settling for the first "simple" shopping cart you find.

      Well, security is not an issue. There is no money being handled online. Also, the owner plans to call each client individually and process their orders over the phone.

        That certainly makes "simple" a more legitimate option. 🙂
