How to find a simple php shopping cart

I am looking for a free or low cost PHP shopping cart, which I can integrate with my website and customize it easily. It should be easy to add a shopping into my existing HTML files.

I am looking for a shopping cart in such a way that you can have your own page detailing a product. When click on that product. It will be added in the shopping cart without having to go to the shopping page itself?

I want to be able to keep the feel of my web page without having to have customers
go to a different looking page. Also, I want to be able to add products to the cart from several different places.

When I add the button "add to cart" , I just need to include a PHP/CGI file. For example
<!-- #EXEC CGI="/Inventory/pricetag.php?IC=BUTYSI¦BUTYSII¦STAMSH" -->

I have seen osCommerce, Zen Cart , Cube Cart and X-Cart. I am not looking for these kinds of shopping carts, because they cannot be integrated with my existing HTML pages.
So, I am NOT looking for a hosted shopping cart and also NOT for a shopping cart that creates dynamic HTML pages. .

I really appreciate your help if you can give some suggestions.
Thank you so much.

What you want is rather specific and may not be available online in exactly the manner you described.
If you won't find the desired product on eg hotscripts [hotscripts.com], then you will have to write the script on your own, or give someone else to do it.

If you are only accepting Paypal, their IPN system is easily integratable.

I have seen some of these carts integrated into existing pages, though it has taken a lot of work. Normally stripping out most of the output and using just the core attributes of the cart itself. I did one with miva a few years ago but it doesn't work anymore after so long and it has changed.

They really are tons of work.

You could roll your own with some scripts as mcibor mentioned. You may have to alter them a bit though to get exactly what you want.

aside from that most of the solutions around are the full meal deal shopping cart solutions.
