NYCPHP Meetup

[Edward Potter]

I kind of take the lazy guy approach. Basically osCommerce has a 
routine (how many php programmers have contributed to that application? 
  100's?  1000's?), they have a module that does most anything you want. 
First you'll pull out your hair and scream and yell, "they're nuts, 
it's  a mess, it's crazy how they do that.", after a few hours you'll 
say "hey, that's a brilliant approach".  Sort of like ones first 
experience meeting up with Unix.

Yes, they have a "count users module" built into osCommerce.  Just have 
to dig it out. :-)
