Secure Order Management CGI script

I've looked and looked.

I'm desperately trying to find a cheap (or free) cgi script which I can run in our secure server area.

I need a script to handle our incoming orders in a secure manner. Credit cards are used by our clients, although they are not processed online - we just need an effective means of writing the contents of the user-submitted order (html) forms to a data file (time and date stamped) on our secure server - so that we can view orders securely, print them out, process them - and then delete them at any time.

Now, I have found some scripts out there but for various reasons they are unsuitable - for example, no capability for deleting single orders, or orders are only listed in their entirety, rather than as a list in which any order can be clicked on and opened up individually.

The type of script I am looking for must exist as there are many types of ecommerce business who need this capability - as opposed to a full shopping cart facility, which is certainly not suitable for us.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Sorry no one could fix you up Stavs. Finding good ecomm scripts is difficult. They are usually ultra expensive and under powered (a real area of opportunity for any commercial programmers in the crowd).

stavs, I've seen such order forms that are run through secure servers, but I've got no idea what the processing is after they're submitted. I do know the people can log in with a special password and retrieve the information and enter the credit card charges either through their own merchant account at their store or through a service like ProPay. Some shopping malls use those since they handle many clients using the same script.

I use a remote cart, very convenient for the purpose it's used for, where there's real-time gateway processing online or the option of the vendor retrieving the order and handling it independently. They can be retrieved individually or downloaded all at once.

It's either shopping cart code or there's an order form that can be filled in and submitted all at once. That's Mal's Ecommerce; I know there are programs that do it on people's own sites, I just can't identify what's being used when I see them.

stavs,

is there no way of modifying the scripts that you found and getting them to do what you need? You could just use the one that was, either, closest to what you need or easiest to modify.
