There are three major implements: a client-side scripting, a server-side scripting and a database.
Initially, you will use JavaScript, DHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to validate client
input and create a more dynamic Website, PHP will be used to implement server-side scripting
which allows the server to create and send dynamic contents to the client, and you will use
MySQL database and SQL to implement data mining and decision support tasks.
To develop the e-business system, you can use a third party tool called osCommerce
(http://www.oscommerce.com/) as a template. This system is a highly customized solution using
osCommerce. The system also has the rich UI and admin control panel with reporting features.
The system is for the client to enable quick and easy product sales integration, cataloging,
product fulfillment, shopping cart, order management and credit card processing (or Paypal
Express Checkout). It uses an indexed database and can handle a large number of products; also
it supports a wide range of credit-card processors and shipping services.
