Where EXACTLY do you want this magical appearance to occur? On your home computer, or on your website (via your remote server)?

If you want to replicate your zenshop on your home computer, you are going to have to configure your home computer as a webserver. You may like to look at something called XAMPP...

It would appear that you don't have a very good grasp of database-driven, dynamic content websites. From your posts, it looks like you understand your product information to be a range of static HTML files, housed somewhere in your site directory.

Think of it like this... if you have ever done a MAIL MERGE in MS Word, where you create a Letter, then bring in each address from an Excel spreadsheet... the excel spreadsheet is your database and is separate from your letter template.
