Paypal's tools are actually very easy to incorporate into the website. You don't even need knowledge of PHP (possibly the very basics). If they set up a premier account, they can use paypal's shopping cart system, which generates a unique button for each item they stock. Customers can then add each item they want, and check out - all for free (you still pay the standard fees)

Though, if you wanted to customize it a bit more, you may want to look into an open source shopping cart system

Nope, not really. Checking out tutorials for shopping carts though.

Okay. I still think I'll stick with the PHP. Either way, something will need to be done. I think the use of a PDF is kind of dumb so I'm steering away from that direction.

Okay, so I'm making an HTML right now with forms. Will I be able to use that or will I need to do it under PHP?

Html is fine...you'll just place action="xxx.php" inside the form element which will redirect to a PHP page to process the data.

So, you probably have a form like this right now:

<form>
...
</form>

and this is what you'll need the <form> to look like...:

<form action="yyy.php" method="get"> or <form action="yyy.php" method="post">

The only difference between 'get' and 'post' is get shows the query data in the URL address bar & post does not.

Thanks. I'll be repping you later on. I have a tutorial specifically for what I'm doing and I just saw the page on the php processing page. I'm going to try finishing up the table I'm making before doing the php coding and stuff. I'm not really sure if the html table I have is aesthetically pleasing enough. I think I'll steer away from it and make something nice and easier to follow.

Converting PDFs is possible, but pretty difficult sometimes.

I am with everyone else in making an online order form with a simple ASP.Net/php/ColdFusion/etc. backend.

Even simpler, use something like E-Junkie which takes care of all the code and transactions for you for a small fee (I use it and it costs $18/month). All you do is enter products, prices, etc. and it writes the code you insert into your pages.

shopping cart is pretty easy to make. The issue is securing it so that people can't get info from it. Make sure whatever you do, you make it secure. Don't know PHP very well but if you need Coldfusion help, let me know.

My future in-laws aren't rushing me or anything so I won't really hurry too much but I'll surely ask for help if I need it. Thanks

I've already remade the tables from the PDF so conversion isn't needed. I think using E-Junkie would be smart but I don't think they should spend money if they don't need to. I'll try helping them out before going to that option.

Well the prices, their address/phone/etc are public so no info could really be stolen.
