If you have any comments, suggestions or improvements to this tutorial, please discuss them on the forum: http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum/
Notes:
This solution is not a replacement for a professional (database based) ecommerce solution like oscommerce. However you can easily integrate this lightweight solution into your Web Builder website and you will have full control over the look and feel.
To keep this example a clean as possible we left out most of the input validation, but you can easily add this yourself using the form validation tools in Web Builder.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You will need some basic knowledge of PHP to be able to modify this example!
