Well I have no idea. I can't spend $100's but hope that there would be
something out there affordable.

I'm pretty sure there's lots out there for under $100, but almost none
will be exactly what you want, and almost all will require you to invest
hours of your own time to make them work the way you want... which will
most certainly equate to $100s of dollars.

Cheers,
Rob.

Do you have any suggestions? Right now I use the one through Paypal, but
it would be too difficult for my client to add their own merchandise. I
could pay more, but not much more. Do you recommend any good ones or
someone that could write one. OScommerce was way too hard and offer too
many options. I don't need a powerful one like that. Just a good basic
shopping cart, but good for client side.
thanks,

This apparently is a common theme -- "I want a good basic shopping
cart that works AND I don't want to pay over $100 for it."

Well... I want a good basic car and not pay over $100 for it too.
But, everyone knows that those two wants are mutually exclusives. My
question is, why aren't shopping carts viewed in the same common
sense perspective?

What's the reason?

Is it because its software and people say "Well.. you have already
spent the time, so why not charge less for it or just give it away"
kind of things." They don't do that with cars, they don't say "Hey,
it's already built, so charge less for it."

Or perhaps they don't understand that a "good basic" solution is NOT
simple, nor trivial, nor inexpensive.

Or, perhaps in their proposal to their clients they underestimated
the worth of a "good basic" shopping cart?

Or, perhaps they don't want to spend their time to take a "free"
shopping cart and make it work for their clients because they
intrinsically know that it will take their time, which has worth to
them, but at the same time don't appreciate the work of others to do
the same thing?

I don't know what the reasons are, but it is one of those situations
that begs the question why.

If I use ibase_errcode(), I get an undefined error;
ibase_errmsg() works. Anyone else have this error with Firebird?

ibase_errcode() is php5 only. I highly recommend you use php5 if using the ibase
extension - the php5 extension is light years ahead of it's php4 counter part.

Try Zen cart http://www.zen-cart.com/modules/frontpage/ it is a fork of
osCommerce which is a very popular OS cart.
I've used it and customised it on a few sites without problems.
