need guidance : on creating forms and shopping cart

Hi !

I am an aspiring web designer and and have learned quite a few technologies including XHTML, CSS ,Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash and Javascript.

But one thing that has always and still confuses me is where do I proceed in order to learn easiest way of creating login pages and shopping carts.

I want to be able to create user profiles so that the website has a login and password page and a shopping cart where he/she can shop. Can anyone guide me about this please on to where to start learning and what to start with ????

You need a user database in something like MySQL or PostgreSQL that has information about purchases, payments, etc., and you need a server-side scripting language to interact with it -- PHP, Perl, Python, etc.

Once a user logs in, you use the SSSL to retreive data from the DB and propgate their account with HTML. Then you set up a secure connection with the SSSL, likely SSL, allowing for secure online purchases. The shopping cart is just a bit of work with the DB and scripting language.

My recommendations:
http://php.net/
http://dev.mysql.com/

That's the most concise shopping cart available, it's module based and only requirings editing of 5 templates for a new layout.

PHP and MySQL is the easiest way. Check out spoono.com/php, I think they have a login tutorial on there. PM me if you want some book reccomendations.
