Book Description
The PHP language and PostgreSQL database server have long
offered an ideal blend of practicality and power for both the novice and
experienced programmer alike. Yet the continued evolution of both
technologies makes them better suited to drive enterprise-class
applications than ever before. In this book, noted authors Cristian Darie
and Mihai Bucica show you how to take advantage of this powerful duo to
build an e-commerce web site, guiding you step-by-step through the process
of developing and deploying the project.
Each chapter is devoted to a specific new feature. You'll learn how to
build an online product catalog complete with a shopping cart, checkout
mechanism, product search feature, product recommendations, administrative
features, customer accounts, an order-management system, and more. You'll
also learn how to process electronic payments by integrating several
popular payment services, including PayPal, DataCash, and VeriSign Payflow
Pro.
