basics

[jagguy]

I still can't get a basic of what zen can or can't do. If you check ecommerce sites you will rarely come across such a system, and users want a range of options and not a set layout or functionality.

I didn't want to EDIT anything with php, I just wanted to ADD a new page with php as part of it. 'What is it I want to do ' has been answered by me and no more of that please .

I understand php but not the way it has been coded on zencart. Check the php manual and you won't find anything like the logic used with this system. I hav never seen logic of this nature anywhere other than set systems like zencart and oscommerce. So I wanted to just add a webapge with some php on it.

q) eg A webpage that displays a table of information that has been retrieved from mysql using php. It doesn't matter what to do just how do you add it in with ezpages or anything else. how?



q) can you add your own webpage with php/mysql 'not why but can you'?

This is about as clear as I can get, without getting frustrated .

I don't mind zencart but I can't get enough information on what it can do exactly.

PS I reread some of the replies and I think I know the problem. People here don't really know php well.
Php isn't a system but a language. People have used php like any language to their own logic, like c++. The logic used happens to be implemented with php, but php is used a number of ways. A common way is to have php echo statements to the screen on webpages, which could inlcude html tags. This can be in 1 file all over many files using an include statement. Not small parts of text echoed to the screen spread of many files, that isn't common.
