Re: Ecommerce for S.C. <a fleeting coherant thought>

I had one. Spooky, I know.

Anyway, that's all this is, is a thought. But maybe you can glean a little
use out of hearing it.

If you are looking for something "out of the box" ~you can work with~ you
might consider Filemaker Pro (a GUI database that serves directly to the
web and is reliable as hell) and a *simple* (really!) script that would
grab the "total" from the database and actually even process it for
payment. This could ALL be seamless to the viewer - really.

I have been playing with the newest version of this software. It actually
DOES seem to understand XML. Pal, that means cyber goons like me can teach
it new tricks - and so can you.

I have obviously wandered pretty far off topic, but I'll be happy to tell
you anything and everything I know if you're interested enough to inquire
off list. Sorry gang, I know it's interesting, but Mom's watching.

I need to be good and play by the rules (for a while ;-)).

:-)
Fuzzy
P.S. I almost forgot: NO. Other than being a VERY happy customer, I have no
professional relation or affiliation with FileMaker Inc.
