PHP stands for Hypertext processor, the developer of PHP language might not have imagined the hype at the time of inventing it, but Now PHP has become synonymous with the web development. Though there are plenty of web development languages like .net, coldfusion, cgi, java but PHP is slowly and gradually changing the history. Let me describe some very good PHP based software that can make your life easier.

Fully free and comes with bunch of features like product list, shopping cart, checkout with any payment gateway, admin control with shipping and taxing and more. Most important thing about this software is, plenty of PHP developers have developed add on modules which they give away as contributions.
