Building an E-Commerce Site Part 1: Building a Product Catalog - Step 5: Putting It All Together (
Page 8 of 8 )
We've covered the maintenance screens, now let's put everything together.
Open up mymarket/admin with your browser and you should see the
administrative welcome screen. Click on the category and product
links on the side and start playing with the system.
Go over the code and comments while you play with the system to get a good
feel for what is happening. If you are relatively new to PHP or MySQL, this
might be a bit hard to digest at first, but it will be worth it! To reinforce
your understanding of what's going on, you should run SELECT queries on the
database tables to see that the data in there matches what you see on the
pages.
We've covered a lot of topics in this part of the E-Commerce guide. Stay
tuned for the next part where we look at the PHP 4 sessions, and user
tracking!
