Is there a shopping cart system with inventory control based on options?

I’ve already picked the wrong cart once: I need one that can do inventory control based on options.
I’ve already picked the wrong cart once: I need one that can do inventory control based on options.
For example, I have 2 small red shirts and 3 large red shirts. That is one kind of product, but I want the small option to hide when I run out of small red shirts. Or the color red to hide when I only have blue and green shirts left.
Are there any shopping carts (free or for pay) that do this? Most have the options, and will count total number of shirts, but not small or medium sizes of that shirt. Or red ones or green ones of the same style.
Cart must be configurable with templates, use PHP, and MySQL.
You would change your SKUs per type of item. So that a red xl shirt is SKU 101, while a green xl SKU might be 102. I do not know of carts that do this, you would need a good inventory management website system. When a person orders a green shirt, then that green shirt it would delete from your inventory. If you also have a brick and mortar store, a POS/IM/e-commerce system can manage your inventory when a person buy a shirt from the b and m store, it would then take it off the e-commerce site.
Hope this helps.
Any more questions, email me. Systems are my profession.

to do a totally different approach — but a better one would be write a matrix for the cart/inventory, this is very hard to do though
