The PHP Shopping Cart - eCommerce Solution for the Adobe Dreamweaver Development Environment!

Cartweaver 3 PHP can be quickly installed into your web site using the Cartweaver extension suite for Dreamweaver (CS3/8/MX 2004). If you already have the free PHP and MySQL installed and know how to set up a DSN (data source name) you can quite literally install Cartweaver to your web site, configure a few simple settings, and begin adding your products in less than 15 minutes! If you are new to dynamic development you'll have to learn a few new things, but you will find Cartweaver makes getting started as easy as it can be.

Cartweaver PHP is not just a PHP shopping cart extension for Dreamweaver; it is a complete eCommerce solution with all the files you need to create your online store. You get everything; the package contains PDF documentation, the Cartweaver Dreamweaver Extension Suite, and all source code/application files should you choose to develop in another web development application or prefer to work in code view. The package also includes your MySQL database, just run the MySQL creator script in MySQL Query Browser or the PHP admin of your choice to create the complete Cartweaver database.

Exclusive to Cartweaver PHP

We aimed to make the Cartweaver experience as similar as possible despite the programming language you choose. To that end, there are few areas in Cartweaver PHP that are just a little bit different due to the differences in the programming language itself.

  • PHP Debugger - Complete debugging information directly on the site. Find out exactly what the application is doing through our custom-built debugging functions. Unlike ColdFusion, PHP does not offer a built-in debugger so we built one for you. You can easily enable or disable debugging at any time. View a screen shot
  • Extra Code Snippets - Code snippets are included for each of custom PHP functions used throughout Cartweaver PHP. Each snippet includes the function, each argument and a description of the function.
  • You can quickly and easily turn on error handling to mask any errors from your site's visitors.

Requirements

Please review the full list of system, server, and database requirements to ensure you have everything you need to get started with Cartweaver PHP.

Server Requirements

Your host must be using a Windows NT 4.0 Server or higher or a UNIX or Linux server capable of running PHP. PHP 4 is required, but PHP version 4.3.11 is recommended due to security issues in earlier implementations of PHP.

Cartweaver PHP uses several PHP components to handle the functionality of your store. The server hosting your store should have a mail component for sending order confirmation emails and must allow file uploads in order to upload images through your browser.

If you're not sure what you need or if your host supports it, download the Cartweaver PHP Requirements Checker and upload it to any folder on your server. Simply browse to the file online to find out if your host meets the minimum requirements to run Cartweaver PHP.

Supported Servers for Live Hosting
(See the full Server Requirements description on this page for additional server requirements.)
Server IIS Apache
Windows NT 4.0 Server Yes Yes
Windows 2000 Server Yes Yes
Windows 2003 Server Yes Yes
Unix/Linux No Yes

Database

Cartweaver 3 PHP supports MySQL version 4.0 and higher. The server must support MySQL version 4.0 to work with Cartweaver.

System Requirements

Although Cartweaver has been specially developed to work within the Adobe Dreamweaver developments environment, Cartweaver can be customized and modified in HomeSite+ or any other code editor.

In order to work with the Cartweaver 3 Extension Suite, Cartweaver PHP requires a Windows operating system or Macintosh OSX system that meets or exceeds the minimum operating requirements of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, or Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, however Windows 98 is not supported.

In order to test locally, you must have an operating system that supports either IIS or Apache, though Apache is recommended. Cartweaver supports Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP and Mac OS9 and OSX only. Windows 98, Windows ME and Mac OS editions prior to OS9 are not supported for local testing of Cartweaver PHP.

For testing purposes, you must either have Internet Information Services (IIS) or Apache locally, or a remote server available. It is highly recommended that you set up a local testing environment. Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional both include a local version of IIS on the installation CDs and Apache is freely available open source software for both Windows and Macintosh. See the Windows documentation for installation and setup instructions.

Supported Systems for Local Testing* with Dreamweaver
Operating Systems IIS Apache
Windows 98 No Yes
Windows 2000 Professional Yes Yes
Windows XP Home No Yes
Windows XP Professional Yes Yes
Macintosh OS X No Yes

* Remote testing on Supported Servers for Live Hosting is supported regardless of your desktop operating system. We do not endorse testing dynamic code on live production servers and strongly recommend the use of a local system testing server. We can not offer support for development without a local server and testing environment.

Demos

You can find out more about how Cartweaver works by checking out the Cartweaver Extension Suite, watching the Cartweaver Movies, and actually using our fully functional store and administration demos below. For more general information about our demos, see the demos page.

Store Demos

Shopping Cart / Store Example

Note: The designs shown in the demos are not included in the Cartweaver package. Cartweaver plugs into your design, it does not force you into a pre-designed template where you have to try to make your design work. You are in control of the look, feel and branding of your site.

Admin Area Demo

The following Cartweaver PHP administration demo will open in a new window for your convenience:

Admin example
Web-based Administration Demo

Note: The entire web-based administration that you see here is included in the Cartweaver package. That's right, all features shown in the admin area demo and its layout are included.

Licensing

Cartweaver is licensed to the individual developer and may be used and modified as much and as often as the developer wishes. A developer may use Cartweaver to develop as many e-commerce web sites for himself/herself or as many of his/her clients who are the end user/merchant as desired. Cartweaver may not be given, loaned, or resold, in whole or in part, by the licensee/developer to any other party for the purpose of web or application development.
