Some simple PHP

[Bonkerz]

Hi,

 

I'm in need of a somewhat simple application.  I am making a page on a wiki with a bunch of like coding.  The only difference is a couple numbers and names, that are repeated multiple times in each section.

To put in easier terms, I am making code where each entry looks like this:

 

| [[X]] 
|| {{formatnum:{{Exchange:X|View=price}} }} 
|| Y
|| {{#expr: Y-{{Exchange:X|View=price}}-{{Exchange:Nature rune|View=price}} }}
|-

 

I am making 6000 different entries like this.  In each entry, X is the same and Y is the same, even though they are repeated.  X is words, while Y is an integer.

In each different entry, X and Y will be different than the entry before it.

 

To expedite the process, I want to make a small application.  I want to have a form where I can enter  what I want for X and Y, and it outputs the entry that I want, like the one above.  I would prefer it on the same page.  It would be something like this:

 

X:

Y:

 

Output:

 

|Submit|

 

If I have not made myself clear, it I were to enter "Pizza" for X and "22" for Y, the output would be:

 

| [[Pizza]] 
|| {{formatnum:{{Exchange:Pizza|View=price}} }} 
|| 22 
|| {{#expr: 22-{{Exchange:Pizza|View=price}}-{{Exchange:Nature rune|View=price}} }}
|-

 

The problem is, I have absolutely NO idea where to start.  If someone could show me how to input something into a form and have an output that includes the input, that would be most helpful.  If someone wants to go out on a limb and be my best friend forever and make such a form like the one I described, for me, well, I'd be in your debt.

 

If there is anything that is unclear, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Thank you,

Bonkerz

You should look into learning how to use the $_POST array and the $_GET array. It will probably be quite obvious how to make your form submission / results display after learning about $_POST and $_GET.
