Guest Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 anyone??? will this work with an html web layout are does it only work with a php layout? :blink: Michael, PHP is a server side scripting language. It provides access (read/write) to the database and the ability to generate HTML code. A php file can be a mix of php and html code. The html code is sent "as is" from the server to the browser in combination with the html that is generated by the php code on the server. If you have an html site, the question is, why switch? The answer may be (depends on your requirements) the dynamic nature of php. If a product changes, title, description, price, etc., you can login to the admin control panel and change the info in the database easily. Php is not that hard to pick up. A programming background helps but your knowledge of html will get you going pretty far with osCommerce. Also, the forums are a great place for help. If you don't get an answer right away, you may have asked something frequently asked before (search) or the question is too broad (add information or narrow it down.) It is possible to integrate a current html template into osCommerce and has been done by many shops. Good luck! ed
