osCommerce and Opencart are both php based open source shopping carts ideal for small and medium size e-shop. I would not go into too many technical details but to summarize Opencart is prefered over OScommerce
OScommerce is getting obsolete due to lack of support fromdeveloper community and availability of limited number of extensions.
