Yes...in osCommerce the Presentation layer _is_ the Business Logic ;-)
[just a guess] I think the intent of osCommerce is to provide a
just-add-water shopping cart.  Unfortunately, following that path will yield
the traditional "osCommerce look" - as we all know walking down the halls of
our favorite shopping mall (an oxymoron?) the "look" is what retail is all
about.
 
Couple of things to keep in mind with osCommerce:
 
1.  To my knowledge, they still require register_globals on
2.  You should be sure to configure is with cookies only (e.g. don't use the
session number in the URL) as I think this is more secure.
 
Cheers,
 
Mark

Mark:
 
I figured you'd throw in a comment! I have looked at it, but I don't use
Joomla. It's for a full-custom ap, so I'm not sure if it would be
appropriate. Unless I decided to use Joomla as my Framework, which ir
probably overkill. Perhaps just osCommerce? But from what I have gathered,
the presentation layer is really embedded in the code.

What PHP shopping cart would you recommend? I need a cart where I can
heavily customize the presentation layer, payment methodology and
fulfillment methodology (that about covers it all!). One that either
provides rich back-end functionality or has good hooks into a back-end
system would be nice too.
 
I'm torn between OSCommerce and the OSCommerce fork Zen Cart. Comments?
Suggestions? Other carts I should look at?
