Calculating Form

[hargz09]

 

Hi,

I need to create a form but I'm unsure what to create it with.

It needs to firstly display values for each item:

 

For example Red + £3, Blue -£2

 

It will then need to show a total at the bottom.

 

It then also needs to only show only items that value to the Model Chosen.

 

For Example if Model A is selected: Blue Green and Red display

If Model B is selected Blue, Yellow and purple display in the colour choice.

 

It then needs to be saved into a database and the values need to be easily changed.

 

Any suggestions?

It sounds like you should use PHP to create this 'form' if there's a Database involved. Otherwise, what are you going to do if the user has Javascript disabled?

I know how to create a normal php form but how would i go about adding values?

Well, got Text-Fields and Text-Areas, you do this:

 

<?php
/*
*
* THIS IS A VERY BASIC EXAMPLE
*
*/
$query = mysql_query("SELECT `field` FROM `table` WHERE `fieldid`=1");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);

if(isset($_POST['submitform'])) $value = $_POST['field']
else $value = $row['field'];
//Start the HTML Form
echo '<form action="foobar.php" method="post">';
echo '<input type="text" name="field" value="" />';
echo '<input type="submit" name="submitform" value="Submit Form" />';
echo '</form>';
?>

 

Of course, that's just for Text-based input. This isn't the way you'd do it for Checkboxes, Radio-Buttons, and Select-Menus.
