Well I want to make a shopping cart in AS3 that will be connected with PHP.
I made a little reseach but haven’t find something tha works with AS3.
Any hint where I should start first?
I am not sure If it is better to arrays for the product list or database…
Actually have no programming experience in PHP so any help will be appreciated!:ne:
If you don’t have much programming experience it’s going to be a crap shoot. I’d probably start with learning database connectivity, then connectivity between Flash and PHP. Where are the products coming from? Are they going to be hard coded in Flash?
I think you’re in over your head.
If you want your shopping cart to be secure, I would definitely brush up on coding skills. Making a cart just as a learning exercise would be a great idea, but when you start dealing with people’s money, you should really know what you’re doing or else you could open yourself up to a host of legal problems.
That said, there is a great video tutorial series for PHP on how to build a shopping cart here:

It’s $15 but I think it’s well worth it.
No, no it 's just a college assignment… sorry not to mention that. (so security issues are supposed to be “ignored” for this project)
I was thinking of making design in Flash “just a simple list of products” and then connect to PHP to do the calculation. I know the connection between PHP and AS3 but this is the first time I ll work with databases.
@D - I didn’t know this was a college assignment, so sorry if I sounded like a prick :lol:
No worries! I am already studing an AMFPHP tutorial… http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/store/ShoppingTutorial.php
