ecart

Hi

I'm completely new to using a shopping cart and relatively new to dreamweaver. I just have a few questions. My site that I am building has the usual html and css. If I add ecart for my shopping cart do I need to save the html pages as php pages...how does that work? I tried going through the tutorial. I copied all the starting point files into a folder but I am rather confused on the initial setup. Do I just create my own root folder and drop those files into it which is what i did. THen on the manage section of dreamweaver i located that folder and the image folder. When I switch over to testing server i clicked on php sql, and then i'm not sure what to put for the testing server folder?? Do I need to go through all this or can I just save my html pages as php pages and will that fix the problems.

The html pages need to be changed to php pages.

For the testing server, you will either need to install a testing server with PHP/MySQL on your local computer, or use your remote server for testing.

To set up a local testing you can use either Wamp for windows:
en/

or Mamp if you are on a Macintosh:
index.html


The following tutorial on Adobes site should help:
