Techniques: osCommerce

osCommerce is open source software for managing an online store. It is written in PHP and uses the MySQL database engine.

The following documentation is from notes I took while evaluating osCommerce for use at vbz.net. I ended up deciding that it would not be suitable, but could provide useful examples for how to do things using PHP and MySQL.
