PHP e-commerce/shopping cart suggestions

Hi all

Can anyone recommend a PHP / MySQL based e-commerce / shopping cart solution? Free or paid for solutions can be considered but I must be able to add my own tweaks.

Thanks in advance!

Currently looking at Zencart...

Interspire is good & you can tweak it but costs

Magento is good but you will need a dedicated server to run it, as it can be very slow on shared hosting

Zen cart is worth a look as it uses div instead of tables over oscommerce less code

Oscommerce has more mods available than Zencart

really depends how much time you want to spend tweaking

Liking Zen Cart so far. Seems like there is LOTS of features and options to play with. Just need to sort a good theme out and I think i'll be happy.

Have tried Zen Cart and all its files are all over the place like a bad dream.

Interspire, like someone else mentioned, is probably one of the most up-to-date carts you can get ... not cheap though. ($995 USD for a decent edition)

I've heard Pinnacle Cart is also quite good (costs a bit less too , at $600USD).

How about CubeCart?

CubeCart looks excellent. Much more cleaner than Zencart. I think ill have a play with CubeCart tonight. Thanks for the tip blade007.
