having trouble with this freeware PHP e-commerce store...

[lost]

Hi.. I'm doing a simple site for a lady who has a yarn store. She would like to put up a store online where customers can buy her yarns and such via paypal.

She needs 4 catagories, about 30 items in each, needs thumnails as well as zoomed in pics. It would need to integrate with her existing paypal account and also would need an interface that would allow her to easily update her store herself.

I've found a PHP based script but am having a hard time using it. I'm running dreamweaver on a PC. It's called Mini Web Shop and can be found at http://obiewebsite.sourceforge.net.

Is this appropriate for what I'm looking for? How do I get this thing up so I can enter in all her items

thanks for any insight

darn!

I've just realized that customers would have to make their orders/purchases via e-mail. I guess I need to keep hunting. Any suggustions on any freeware e-shopping scripts?

thanks

thanks for the link.

I have downloaded oscommerce- 2.2ms2. It likes like a good candidate, but I don't know PHP and am having trouble setting this up. Do I need an application like coldfusion to build the store or to open the oscommerce script?

Could someone point me in the right direction?

thanks
