PreStocked.com Official Release – Online Shopping & Price Comparisons

Mike Danna — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 00:09:19 +0000

Today we launched PreStocked.com a very large consumer shopping website based on full product catalog feeds from major retailers, merchants, and outlets worldwide. PreStocked.com is not a typical online store as the website will not serve as a primary destination in ordering items, nor does it handle product shipping; the idea behind PreStocked.com is to simply give the shopper means of locating the best deal on their product and directing them to checkout at the store where the item is available.

We encourage your feedback as well as encourage you to share your thoughts behind this new development in your blog and in your articles.

Alright, so we are going to provide a light PHP mail processor that is excellent for portable and clean use in application integrations. This script can of course be used as a stand alone version as well, though it is primarily best suited for quick mail processing framework.

We created a very clean script that is great to keep in your scriptbase that supports the following:

Automatic form field data requests
