PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Go where with what? Programming is a very detail oriented activity. When asking a question you need to be specific. So far you have posted a form and some php code that consists of some assignment statements. I would guess you are asking how to write the code that implements a calculator in the form processing code?

Maq Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You need to compile and store what has been clicked on. Right now if you click submit, there's nothing to send... An easy way to do this is when a button is clicked store the values in a string delimited by a comma so now you can pass the whole string, explode it, and have case statements for your operators in process.php. You could actually do it all on the same page. Have a function that takes in a string and when submit isset call the function and return the calculation. Of course you're going to have to validate, but let's get it working first. Next time add some detail/research to your question. Something like: I am trying to create a basic calculator. I have buttons in calculator.php with all the digits and operators. I don't know how to store the values, when they are clicked, and send them to process.php so I can do the calculation. I do not get any errors. Any ideas? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132718-my-first-calculator/#findComment-690512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dink87522 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 We had a contest a while back that involved making a graphing calculator. Do a forum search. I did. The only 'graphics calculator' post found was your post just above.
