1. An AJAX Based Shopping Cart with PHP, CSS & jQuery by Tutorialzine
In this tutorial we are going to create an AJAX-driven shopping cart. All the products are going to be stored in a MySQL database, with PHP showing and processing the data.
jQuery will drive the AJAX-es on the page, and with the help of the simpletip plugin will add to an interactive check out process.
So go ahead, download the demo files and start reading.
2. Building a Drag-and-Drop Shopping Cart with AJAX by Sys-con
The rise of AJAX over the past several months has taken over the development world and breathed new life into the Web. Although these techniques have been possible for many years now, the maturity of Web standards like XHTML and CSS now make it a viable alternative that will be viewable by all but the oldest browsers.
It’s also been possible to accomplish many of the same things using Flex or Flash, but the development cycle with those applications is typically more involved and the overhead often not justified.
We’re going to harness the power of the Scipt.aculo.us JavaScript library to provide our interaction. As their Web site states, this library “provides you with easy-to-use, compatible and, ultimately, totally cool JavaScript libraries to make your web sites and web applications fly, Web 2.0 style.” We’re also going to utilize the <CF_SRS> library to handle the actual AJAX data piping to our application. Both of these libraries are free for all to use, and they’re easier to integrate than you would think.
3. Build An AJAX Powered Shopping Cart
The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to build an AJAX powered shopping cart. However, it will not be production ready. The back end requirements vary from site to site far too much to write an effective tutorial. Instead, we are going to focus on the AJAX parts. The back end code in this tutorial acts as scaffolding for us to build the AJAX functionality, however, it can be built off of to meet your own site’s requirements. In the last section, we’ll discuss some possible next steps to implementing this in your own websites.
The other thing to note is that this tutorial will not explain all the details. A firm grasp of HTML, CSS, and some basic PHP is expected. By basic I mean variables, arrays, control structures, and basic OOP. Some knowledge of Javascript is a plus. We’ll walk through and break down the trickier bits of PHP and Javascript, but will gloss over the basic stuff like CSS styling. Links to documentation and other relevant resources will be sprinkled throughout wherever relevant.
The final thing to note is that the order codes (or product codes) used in this tutorial are completely arbitrary.
