i want to promote the products of the affiliate programs that im involved with. so i wanted to make online catalog. make and html page for every product would take to long(over 100 products). deos anyone know a free php online catolog script WITHOUT A SHOPPING CART. that i can easily intergrate into my site.
please help and if you have any questions about answering my question please ask. please reply.
i would appreciate all your help

I have a question about why you don't want a shopping cart. Are these items available for purchase? Wouldn't a shopping cart be helpful there?

Over at eBay.com there are lots of the sellers that use a "gallery" software to present their products. Might want to check that out. I don't sell on eBay, so I don't know if they would work on a non-eBay site, but they might. Or what about using a "photo gallery"? There are a couple in the Fantastico on the cpanel.

Just a few thoughts... hope they help.

good question.
the reason that i dont need a shopping cart. is that my site does not handle money transactions or shipping. i only direct the user to the website that actually sells the product and makes all transactions. but i am an affiliate of each product's site. so that is why i dont need a shopping cart. i only want to display the product : name, image, description, price and a button that directs the user to the manufacturer site where they can buy the product. so do you still know any solutions for my problem. i dont want to make an html page for every product. that will take for ever. i want it to be easy to add new products. so that is whay i want to automate the system. so if anyone knows any scripts that can help me out please post them. or if you are a compnay or a site that has a commerical script. i would gladley make a deal with you. if you allow me to use your script and i will greatly advertise on my site. my site is themed for other affiliates and online marketers. so there would be a lot people wanting that script. so please help. i need this really badly.
thank you

affhotspot,

I have a piece of code that makes a three column listing page. I use it as a site map here on a site. It could include linked images that when you click on them it can go to the selling site.??? want a copy of that?

It isn't exactly automated, but it is easy enough to manage umless your product lists change daily (which I doubt). It is quite simple to add another item to the list and the products can be grouped since there arre actually three levels of unordered lists included in the page. You can only see two levels there now, but the third is avaiable if you need it.

PM me if you want to check it out.

thanks jlhaslip for helping me so far.
but is there still anyone else that knows a online shopping catalog script. there are a lot in php but the free ones suck really bad. so does anyone know any good ones. if you have a commerical script. i would make a deal with you to allow me to use the script for free and i will advertise you greatly on my site. you wont regeret it. so please help. i need this badly.

affhospot, you may want to try out MyCatalog.
http://www.abtinfosystems.net/FreePHPScripts.shtml

fairly recent, and simple. last implementation changes have been made to the script just last december 17, 2005. it's free, by the way. and you can fairly customize it to fit your needs, i suppose. it's in PHP.

as for commercial scripts, there may be some complications there if you're asking other people's copies to be used on your site. most commercial scripts have a callback function which automatically advises the script seller where the script has been installed and run. and it might be the case also that the script is on a per-domain license only, and if the sellers find out it has been used on a site not listed in their database of licensed users, they will call the attention of your host (in this case, trap17), and they could have your site closed.

i doubt if any established commercial seller would answer your immediate plea for a free copy. you have to bargain with them individually, since they don't necessarily drop by hundreds of thousands of forums (trap17, being just one of them) to check on requests as yours. yet again, they are in the business of generating sales for their scripts, so don't keep your hopes up on that.

but if you are already earning from affiliate programs you're involved with, you may opt to shell out a bit for a more suitable commercial script. i have seen some fairly affordable scripts out there, some under 10-50 dollars. check out hotscripts for "online catalogs". or use MyCatalog, in the meantime.

thanks for you comment and consideration.
but i have tried PHP catalog and its really no good. it has some problems, or i wouldnt even be asking for help right now.
but i thank you for your consideration
