    To be honest, a shopping cart is a bit of an audacious project to start learning PHP with.

    Andy has a point... but if you're really keen, start on paper by designing the table structure and decide how you'll be managing tax, postage etc

    Read up at www.php.net on some of the security issues with regard to sql injections.

    Then slowly and carefully start building the pages adding complexity as you go.

    if you know how to progran, you can try and error
    find some free shopping cart, study how its works.
    If you can understand that, you can create your own.

    if not, lower down, find something more simple like guestbook.
    learn how ppl do the script. learn how to query from more than 1 table in one script. learn how to protect your script from sql injection.

    dont rush to that difficult for you to learn then give up. programming is fun :)

    You will benefit alot from looking at the existing code at www.sourceforge.net, www.phpclasses.org, www.zend.com and even reviewing existing carts.

    I'm in the middle of coding a user management module in cakePHP but I'm getting ideas from reviewing the source code of a forum. Cut and paste won't work because the underlying structure is so different but it's useful to see what issues their guys have anticipated and how they've tackled them.

    I'd start with something more simple. Some stupid examples include a guestbook, a simple forum...
