Calling on the knowledge and experience of all of you guys out there.
I'm looking for a decent shopping cart / e-commerce software for a small / medium sized business.

I'm looking for an opensource solution if possible so I can modify to suit, or a fully fledged system with plenty of options.I'd prefer it to be written in php as its the language I'm most comfortable with (as I'll be doing this as a freebie I'd rather enjoy doing it rather than re-learning other languages)

Is there such a beast, I have googled for it (LMGTFY links not appreciated) I'm after reccomendations from people that have used the software.
 
Zencart or Magento are probably the best/most popular free and scalable ecommerce solutions - look them up and see which would fit your needs better.
 
I'd remove that link if I were you, pretty sure its against the forum rules.

Recently used oscommerce (yes I know, the client had already chosen it) and I can recommend that as one to stay clear off!

Zencart and magento would be much better.
 
Is it against the rules?

Only if it was his own site or it was a competitor to OcUK (which it isn't).

Or am I missing a rule?

Looks like advertising to me, which i'm fairly sure is not allowed.

I could be wrong. :)

He's just making a recommendation, and theyre not even competitors to OcUK, so I dont see a problem. After all several people recommend hosting sites such as vidahost and tsohost, without a second thought, which is fine by me. If the moderator deletes it I'd be amazed.... we will see :)
 
Opencart is normally enough for most small/medium ecommerce sites, but if you want something with loads of features use Magento.

I work with both where I work, I much prefer Magento but it takes a lot longer to build/theme.
