Need help to calculate volume in PHP

[nathgregory]

Hi,

I have an itinerary form at http://www.happydaysremovals.com/estimate.html

Customers fill this in, and it uses phpmailer-fe to email the results to myself. I use a HTML .tpl file so I can make the output email look as I want.

All that is fine, but I would like a volume calculator.  Next to each item on the form, the customer enters the amount of that item, usually 1 or 2.  If it was say a setee, I want to define that a setee = 30 cubic feet, for example.  Then I want the calculator to calculate the total cubic footage for all the variables, and include it in the html email.

 

I know with javascript this can be done, but I was hoping for a PHP result and for it to somehow work in with phpmailer-fe, for example:

 

</style>

<script language="JavaScript">

function write_this()

{

var setteelarge;

var setteemedium;

var setteesmall;

 

var setteelarge2;

var setteemedium2;

var setteesmall2;

 

var setteelargeresult;

var setteemediumresult;

var setteesmallresult;

 

var total;

 

setteelarge = document.form1.LargeSettee.value;

setteemedium = document.form1.MediumSettee.value;

setteesmall = document.form1.SmallSettee.value;

 

setteelarge2 = 45

setteemedium2 = 31

setteesmall2 = 22

 

setteelargeresult = (setteelarge * setteelarge2);

setteemediumresult = (setteemedium * setteemedium2);

setteesmallresult = (setteesmall * setteesmall2);

 

total = (setteelargeresult+setteemediumresult+setteesmallresult)

 

document.form1.Total_Cubic_Feet.value = total

}

</script>

 

Basically, I want to be able to include the cubic feet total value to also be emailed to me in the HTML email, but preferably all in PHP.

 

At the moment, I get everyones itinerary, but want to be automatically be able to work out the cubic footage.

 

Thanks

if that is the function to calculate the volume in javascrip, the equivalen in php assuming you are sending the form via POST would be:

<?php
function write_this(){

    $setteelarge = $_POST['LargeSettee'];
    $setteemedium = $_POST['MediumSettee'];  
    $setteesmall = $_POST['SmallSettee'];

    $setteelarge2 = 45
    $setteemedium2 = 31
    $setteesmall2 = 22

    $setteelargeresult = ($setteelarge * $setteelarge2);
    $setteemediumresult = ($setteemedium * $setteemedium2);
    $setteesmallresult = ($setteesmall * $setteesmall2);

    $total = ($setteelargeresult+$setteemediumresult+$setteesmallresult)

    echo $total;
}
?>

Thanks. I will give that a try.  Does that mean that $total will be sent to phpmailer-fe when the form is submitted. At present, my form action line is:

<form action="http://www.happydaysremovals.com/phpmailer-fe.php" method="post">

 

I take it that $total will just be another variable, posted to the phpmailer-fe, and can be included in my html .tpl file?

 

Also, I don't think I can run PHP inside my HTML.  Would I be able to use a php include file or something.  If so, would it need to be run before the phpmailer-fe.

 

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

[marcelobm]

if the form is posted to the phpmailer-fe.php, you should use this code in that file, so it's available to you for processing.

[nathgregory]

Thanks pal.  I will give that a try!!

[nathgregory]

I tried to include that code in phpmailer-fe.php...

 

but when I try to run it I get The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.happydaysremovals.com/phpmailer-fenew.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

 

<?php
error_reporting(0); //error_reporting(E_ALL);

function write_this(){

    $sofa_3_seater = $_POST['sofa_3_seatercalc'];
    $sofa_2_seater = $_POST['sofa_2_seatercalc'];  
    $armchair_large = $_POST['armchair_largecalc'];

    $sofa_3_seater2 = 45
    $sofa_2_seater2 = 31
    $armchair_large2 = 22

    $sofa_3_seaterresult = ($sofa_3_seater * $sofa_3_seater2);
    $sofa_2_seaterresult = ($sofa_2_seater * $sofa_2_seater2);
    $armchair_largeresult = ($armchair_large * $armchair_large2);

    $total = ($sofa_3_seaterresult+$sofa_2_seaterresult+$armchair_largeresult)

    echo $total;
}

I have tried changing it any inserting this function at the beginning of phpmailer-fe.php

 

function write_this(){

    $sofa_3_seater2 = 45;
    $sofa_2_seater2 = 31;
    $armchair_large2 = 22;

    $sofa_3_seaterresult = ($sofa_3_seater * $sofa_3_seater2);
    $sofa_2_seaterresult = ($sofa_2_seater * $sofa_2_seater2);
    $armchair_largeresult = ($armchair_large * $armchair_large2);

    $total = ($sofa_3_seaterresult+$sofa_2_seaterresult+$armchair_largeresult)

}

 

Basically...  $sofa_3_seater and $sofa_2_seater and $armchair_large are posted to phpmailer-fe.php script from the html form.  In this function I am trying to declare new variables and give them a number ie $sofa_3_seater2 = 45;

I then want the script to multiply them together, to work out cubic footage.  Once all added together it should give $total, which phpmailer-fe.php should then email in its html email.

[nathgregory]

What I've done now, is send the values as hidden input fields in the html form:

 

<input type="hidden" name="sofa_3_seater2" value="45">

<input type="hidden" name="sofa_2_seater" value="30">

<input type="hidden" name="armchair_large" value="15">

 

Can anyone help me with a script to put in phpmailer-fe.php that will do the calculations, give a new variable called $total?
