calculator script

[WStudio]

Hi,

 

I've been working on this shipment calculator script for some time now. It's works fine as it is except for one thing. I have been trying to figure out how to get the script to calculate the freight cost from just the weight or volume (length, width & height) fields.

 

The way that it is now is that you have to enter a product cost and quantity for it to calculate anything. Some people just want the freight charges and nothing else.

 

The classes: I know it's not very tidy, but I plan on cleaning it up once I get it working properly.

<?php
class ShippingCalculator {

// Defaults
var $postUrl;
var $settings;
var $weight = 1;
var $weight_unit = "lb";
var $size_length = 4;
var $size_width = 8;
var $size_height = 2;
var $size_unit = "in";
var $debug = false; // Change to true to see XML sent and recieved

var $tax;
var $minInsurance;
var $brokerageFee;

var $weightRates;
var $volumeRates;

var $volume;

function ShippingCalculator(){
	global $settings;
	$this->tax = 17.5;
	$this->minInsurance = 15.00;
	$this->brokerageFee = 10.00;
	$this->postUrl = $settings['siteurl_content'].'ajax.php';
}


// Convert Weight

	$units['kg'] = 0.0283495231;

	// Convert to Ounces (if not already)
	if($old_unit != "oz") $weight = $weight / $units[$old_unit];

	// Convert to New Unit
	$weight = $weight * $units[$new_unit];

	// Minimum Weight
	if($weight < .1) $weight = .1;

	// Return New Weight

?>
</div>

 

I need to be able to calculate the shipping rates (freight cost) from the weight or volume (length, width, height) entries and without out the need to enter the product cost or quantity.

 

Please?? I need this ASAP.. Any help, advise or instructions on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advanced,

Well you have this code:

 

// Minimal form validation:
if ( is_numeric($_POST['price']) ) {
    if(!empty($_POST['weight'])){

 

At quick glance it's pretty obvious you can't do that if you want to calculate the shipping cost without a price, because your code doesn't allow it.  I'm having a hard time reconciling the fact that you could have written all this code and at the same time profess not to understand something so simple, but I guess anything is possible.

Thank you very much for your reply. The truth is, it wasn't apart of the design. It wasn't until later the client refused it because it wasn't doing what he wanted it to do. You know that type of client that keeps changing things during the development process. Luckly most of the new stuff were stuff I could add.. but I'm blank with this one. And this is the last thing I have to do the complete the project.

 

What do you propose I do to get this done?

 

[gizmola]

I don't know what you mean.  Do you understand that code, and what the problem is with it?

Once again Gizmola,

 

Thank you for your help. I started reconstruct it in javascript.. I had already started it before.. I guess I'm going to have to just finish it.

 

Thanks

 

Best regards,

So this means you don't understand it?  How will doing anything in javascript help you with this situation?

 

That code makes it very clear: if the form has no price filled out, it will not get to the shipping code.  Why don't you try commenting out that if -then block and see what happens.  You might be surprised.  If you're really this befuddled with the simplest of code, I don't know what you hope you to gain from posting these sorts of questions here.  It also doesn't help you at all when you claim to write code you didn't write.  I looked at your previous posting history and my suspicions were confirmed within 10 seconds.
