Re: PHP or JSP

I think the answer is always 'use the right tool for the job'. For a shopping cart, I don't see much point in going to JSP, unless you feel more comfortable with it. This is a fairly simple application which PHP or Perl are more than sufficient. There are a ton of these already built, so you may want to look around instead of re-inventing the wheel. If, on the other hand, you are going to *sell* that shopping cart as a product, there would be a variety of reasons to use JSP.
