Hello all,
Does anybody know a good open source bookshop/bookstore system written in
php+mysql?
Google and sourceforge search didn't yield good results.
Any hint would be very much appreciated.

Sounds like you're looking for an e-commerce solution. Did you search
for 'open source e-commerce' ?

You mean a webshop?

It could be that a bookshop has specific requirements that a generic
webshop application can't meet.
Sorry, Ali, I can't help you either.

Hello all,
Thanks very much for your kind feedback sofar.
I know of many shop and cms systems written in php.
However, what I am looking for is a system developed specifically for books.
And, as mentioned hier such a system has its own specific requirements that
other generic systems do not meet.

The only thing that books differ from a general webshop / e-commerce
is ISBN and authors. In any case, a good e-commerce solution should
have UPC/ISBN since every product is identified by UPC/ISBN regardless
of the industry. So what I suggest is look for a good open source
e-commerce solution that has most of the features you're looking for
and just implement additional fields in the db for ISBN, authors,
publishers (manufacturers?) and some additional php code. It beats
writing an e-commerce from scratch and helps you better understand
that solution you're implementing.

SAM'S published a PHP book some years ago that had just
such an app in "demo" form, on CD, included. A big purple
book. The app was basically a shopping cart system, but
it was specifically for books. Might be a good way to
learn something and a good framework for further customization.
Given that it's a few years old, though, you'd want to
definitely do some reading on security best procedures
and changes since PHP 4....
As for the rest of the discussion, a bookshop could
easily be most of the standard cart-type apps. Since
they have only a few characteristics, it's much easier
than, for example, retail clothing ;-)
