Super-simplistic shopping cart?

    Hi. Can anyone recommend an ultra-simplistic shopping cart? I could adapt a sophisticated cart like Zencart or Magneto, but would prefer to not have to fight to dumb them down.

    I DO NOT need to accept payment nor to take shipping information. All orders have to be paid for and picked up in a brick-and-mortar store. Also, items do not have descriptions or pictures.

    What I do need to be able to do is
    • periodically re-import the entire catalog every day (or week)
    • allow customers to add any item with inventory>0 to their cart
    • collect the name and phone number of the person placing the "order"
    • send an e-mail to a store manager that the order was placed
    Here is an an example of a site with basically the functionality I need: www.smokerisebottle.com (click on Spirits tab). They seem to have made a custom script in ASP (and it ain't pretty!). I would prefer PHP (or python, perlscript, etc.) and something open source or otherwise free (as in, I have a $0 budget for this).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!
