    I've specialized in e-com programming for the last 5 years or so. What do you need to know?

    I'd start by using an open source e-com site and see how they work. Magento is a good one for PHP, but their database is complicated and they use xml for configuration which is confusing. X-cart is also good, but that one is not free. X-cart uses the smarty templating engine (which I hate) and has a few flaws in their database design (which won't matter to 95% of people - I've just had to deal with it because I've modified x-cart so much. On the surface, both are great to use especially to learn how e-com sites work. I've heard the cart that comes with Drupal is pretty good, but I've never used it.

    After that, it's a matter of deciding whether you're going to modify an existing package to suit your needs or write your own. Personally, I've chosen to modify existing products for PHP, but I plan to write my own in Rails so that it integrates seamlessly with another application that I've written. Rails has a plugin called ActiveMerchant that makes data transfer with the payment gateways easy. I haven't seen anything like that for PHP, so you have to code this yourself.
