www.fishcart.org :)

i've been trying to decide which one to use to tackle a big mall project,
but don't know enough about 'carts to make an intelligent assessment yet.

Hi,
I'm having a problem dealing with #'s in my urls. Most browsers will
not send the # with the request because they know it's only for use
with a named anchor.

so when you type in: http://mysite.com/test.php?id=0#top
all that the browser will send as a request is
http://mysite.com/test.php?id=0

this is good. My problem is when a weird browser sends the #top as
part of the request. when this happens, the value of id is now
"0#top". I need to make sure this doesn't happen. I know I could do
some ereg_replace on all my variables, but I would have to do this on
every request and I'd rather avoid it.

in php.ini there is a variable called arg_separator.input that looks
like it can help but when I add the line:

arg_separator.input = "&#"

I still get $id = "0#top"

so it doesn't seem to be working. I have php 4.0.6

thanks for any ideas,
- Mark

Here's a mini-checklist on tricky bits, some of which are as much about
payment as
much as cart:

1. Delivery & Packing especially pricing on composite loads, destination,
different speeds.

2. Sales taxes.

3. Quantity discounts, discount vouchers, reusable vouchers, loyalty cards.

4. Affiliate and referral tracking and their accounts.

5. Order processing, separate auth and debit, refunds, partial refunds

6. Stock control.

and, of course, currencies, languages etc., if you want to do the proper job.

Depending on your target base, I'd be particularly careful about the shopping
process. It's really
easy to put off customers, especially the general public. For example,
insisting on user
registration before you get to the cart or order will lose you business,
unless you're the likes
of zend store and are guaranteed confident customers.

If you want to look at a mall for ideas, try http://www.ishop.co.uk which
only has php at the
backend but does show you can get rich functionality, without having to have
Amazon's
budget.
