I want to understand how the script works. Maybe in a story line or something. The end result is basically a small menu that allows a user to update their quantity of item and then eventually i will have it update the price based on price of item * quantity. I copied this script from a tutorial.

Hi there. I am working on a calculator kind of deal. I just don't know what the printf syntax is doing to (populate) the variable(s). Also, 'how' is it doing this in the below script>? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <?php if(isset($_POST["quantity"])) $quantity = settype($_POST["quantity"], "integer"); else $quantity = 1; $item_price = 5.99; printf("%d x item = $%.2f", $quantity, $quantity * $item_price); ?> <FORM ACTION="buy.php" METHOD=POST> Update quantity: <INPUT NAME="quantity" SIZE=2 VALUE="<?php echo $quantity;?>"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Change quantity"> </FORM> </body> </html>

Hey there. I was 23 just last week. How's it feel? I'm here to learn php as well. I got the drift of it's importance but there are so many switches that i need to know to get good. lol. My dad is a sql kinda guy and knows little about php or html. I just have no friends that understand me (my tech vocab), so i've come here.

You are totally right. I admit i do like html...i'm just realizing html is so much 'awesomer' when combined with some of the more advanced scripting languages. Thanks for pointing that out. Html is truly awesome but i generalized the overall meaning to my message a bit. html was a great stepping stone for me.

There's still a small chance the world won't end. The worst that can happen is we just won't wake up again. lol. -
what do you have knowledge in already as far as scripting languages?

I first tried c. I sucked. I then tried java. I sucked. I then tried php. I sucked. I then tried html, and found out it sucks so now i'm trying php.

Dang. I thought that might be the case. I saw some smtp information i could add to the php.ini at another site online, but it didn't list auth abilities so your feedback affirms this. Thanks for the prompt response, thorpe.

I am learning php and am attempting to use a remote smtp server to test the mail() command in a php after submitting an html form. I am using an apache server on a windows 7 machine. Is there any way to alter the php.ini to use an external smtp server, such as smtp.gmail.com ? I cant seem to get it working. 17243_.php

My name is Dan. You can tell by the user name. I am familiar with alot but know a little. i started in the late dos days. i started building machines with the 386, in 92. I'm 24 as of january 1st in this last year of planet earth. I am in my third year of a two year degree in computer science (1st year was fulfilling pre-reqs). I know dos; batching;, am familiar with html 4 and 5, css (2? 3?), flash, rfc-822. Overall, i am the most familiar with basic html maybe because its so simple but i am not much of an artist so i need to become dynamic. I have come here to advance my basic knowledge of php. Thanks for the opportunity of introduction! -Dan
