Cgi/php help?

Question

Hi, can anyone help - I'm looking to set up an online
shopping basket on my web site with multiple options for each
product eg. t-shirt - style logo - personalised with name - shirt
colour - size etc. I will only be selling six different products in
total so I don't want anything too over the top.
Is there a PHP/CGI script or shopping basket program that
will allow a customer to make their choices by clicking a radio
button by each option required and then preview the outcome in a
pop-up window or a new page eg. red t-shirt with fish logo on the
front and personalised with a name eg. Matthew, before they make
their purchase?
Any help appreciated
Cheers

Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre>
