calculating radio and checkboxes

vanessa123 · April 7, 2009

Hi, need help

I have 3 radio buttons and six checkboxes - the radio buttons have different dollar values but the checkboxes have the same dollar value.

my first form works great but I can't get the second form to calculate the radio button with the checkboxes...? really need help as the assignment is due in two days and I am getting desperate. Has to be in php tho.

Cheers

Can you post the HTML (or a link to the page if online) with sample data please?

Bit difficult without it.

Yesideez · April 7, 2009

Erm... can you surround that with CODE tags please? Makes it easier to read and preserves formatting!

vanessa123 · April 7, 2009

I'm not sure what you mean? Do I have to rewrite it?

Yesideez · April 7, 2009

One easier way of displaying data using ECHO is...

     echo "<p>First name:  $first_name</p>
   <p>Last name:  $last_name</p>
   <p>Phone:  $phone</p>
   <p>Base:   $base</p>
    Optional extra components:
   <ul>";

There's no mention of any prices in the HTML (visible to the user) to show them what they're spending.

If I click "Double" it unselectes and goes back to Single being selected - missing </label>

        <input type="radio" id="single" name="base" value="Single"> <label for="single">Single</label><br />
        <input type="radio" id="double" name="base" value="Double"> <label for="double">Double</label><br />
        <input type="radio" id="monkey" name="base" value="Monkey"> <label for="monkey">Monkey</label><br />

I've added it for you.

I've also changed the value of monkey to Monkey - why have a long line of text?

As for the checkboxes I've edited the HTML slightly removing the square brackets:

        <input type="checkbox" id="MetalClimbBar" name="extra0" value="Metal climb bar" />
              <label for="MetalClimbBar">Metal climb bar</label><br />
        <input type="checkbox" id="FiremanPole" name="extra1" value="Fireman pole" />
              <label for="FiremanPole">Fireman Pole</label><br />
        <input type="checkbox" id="See-saw" name="extra2" value="See-saw" />
              <label for="See-saw">See-saw</label><br />
        <input type="checkbox" id="Rock-climbingWall" name="extra3" value="Rock-climbing wall" />
              <label for="Rock-climbingWall">Rock-climbing Wall</label><br />
        <input type="checkbox" id="Trapezeandrings" name="extra4" value="Trapeze and rings" />
              <label for="Trapezeandrings">Trapeze and rings combo</label><br />
        <input type="checkbox" id="RopeLadder" name="extra5" value="Rope ladder" />
              <label for="RopeLadder">Rope Ladder</label><br />

You can then run a for() loop with a switch() statement to check for those ticked:

for ($i=0;$i<6;++$i) {
  switch ($i) {
    case 0:if ($_POST['extra0']) {$total+=100;};break;
    case 1:if ($_POST['extra1']) {$total+=200;};break;
    case 2:if ($_POST['extra2']) {$total+=300;};break;
    case 3:if ($_POST['extra3']) {$total+=400;};break;
    case 4:if ($_POST['extra4']) {$total+=500;};break;
    case 5:if ($_POST['extra5']) {$total+=600;};break;
  }
}

That's presuming $total contains the total so far.

How's that?

Yesideez · April 7, 2009

Also noticed double dollar sign:

         $$field_name = $value;

Should this be:

         $field_name = $value;

vanessa123 · April 7, 2009

Thank you, am going to try all your suggestions...thanks.. was trying to clean up my mess...but your stuff sounds logical. Will let you know how I go.

Cheers.

Yesideez · April 7, 2009

Hope it works out for you
