nooB needs help sorting php,sql, etc.please

Hi all,
This is my first post but I'd like to thank everyone for all the lurking help
I've gotten. You guys are great. I've hit a wall. I use dw8, windows xp and
have a server through crystal tech. I would like to build a shopping cart for
e-commerce using my order form page at the link at the bottom. I've seen lots
of posts talking about Mysql, php, cold fusion, apache, asp.net, mysql front
etc. but each one seems to require a major comitment and I'd hate to spend the
time on the wrong thing. Or start buying books that may not apply. I've
searched the boards but can't quite figure out what's best. A point in the
right direction would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again.
