I've been searching for a PHP script that I can implement into an existing HTML + PHP site that will provide simple shopping cart functionality. I spent several hours yesterday searching and the only thing I found that comes close to what I need is jCart, but that lacks a few features. All the rest I found are full eCommerce solutions, which I don't need. Since I didn't have much luck searching, I figured I'd ask all the good peoples of Neowin if they've see a script that's similar to what I need.
Here's what I need (in a nutshell):
Simple shopping cart page to integrate with existing site
Adding items via a form submit action from existing static HTML or active PHP pages
Server side session management (cookies not required)
Ability to retrieve item details from MySQL database (to add to cart using item # in submit)
Ability to configure items specials (combination deals and possible volume discounts)
Administrative page to add items and specials to database
PayPal and maybe Google Checkout integration
Web 2.0 (AJAX / jQuery) a plus but not required
What I don't need is a full-on store front solution with product pages, etc. If nobody has seen an animal like this in the wild, I'll probably code it myself using jCart as a start and adding the functionality I need. I just don't want to take on this project and re-invent the wheel if somebody has already put together a solution at this level.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have (all are welcome)!
