Oh my gosh!
I'm scared to death to create a shopping, but was recently referred to some
free shopping cart software. Though I am trying to learn code on my own (
X-HTML, HTML, CSS, PHP, etc.) I'm not yet very good and am extremely nervous
(originally became acquainted with PHP from a designers perspective-Thanks
David Powers. I have one page on my website). I have a potential client
and he needs a shopping cart.
I'm thinking about installing Zen-Cart. Is this a good idea? Does this
mean that I should also download XAMPP for Mac OS X? My system is OS
10.4.11. (I haven't yet installed MySQL and I think the version of PHP that
I installed last year needs to be updated.)
I know someone is going to bite my head off for seeking the above
information, but I don't know where else to start. I don't think I can
learn enough PHP and MySQL in one week on my own. I don't want to lose this
client.

No way would I write a shopping cart. I might steal one and rewrite
for myself, but even then it would take me more than a week.
You might want to check out some commercial shopping carts and
present them to your client. At least they usually have support to
help you install. I think that would be the way I would take -- I
have done that before.
Try not to be the guru here, but rather the person who can guide your
client to get what they want -- if you know what I mean.
Good luck,
