osCommerce is an online shop (e-commerce) solution under on-going development by the open source community. Its feature-packed, out-of-the-box installation allows storeowners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with no license fees involved.

osCommerce combines open source solutions to provide a free and open e-commerce platform, which includes the powerful PHP Web scripting language, the stable Apache Web server, and the fast MySQL database server.

With no restrictions or special requirements, osCommerce is able to run on any PHP3 or PHP4 enabled Web server, on any environment that PHP and MySQL supports, which includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and Microsoft Windows environments.

The main advantage of osCommerce is that there is a constant upgrading and update path reflecting what the clients want.

However, to add onto osCommerce, get under the bonnet and make an attractive design, you need to know PHP scripting and the architecture of osCommerce very well.
