katloubee Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 So, I'm a complete PHP newbie, but I want to create a calculator, using my own calculations and then MAYBE taking some figures from a DB (this can come later), Can anyone point me in the right direction for the calculator? I want it to have the same kind of format as mortgage calculators, in that a value is entered, and maybe some more information (like a rate, % etc) and then an answer is provided. Any good tutorials? I have about 2 days. LOL Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/273558-complete-newbie-but-want-to-learn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 You have 2 days to do a project you just decided to do to learn a language? Or, you didn't do your homework? Try google.

katloubee Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Neither. Work have asked me to try and create it, which I want to do to make a good impression. You've been so helpful Jessica, thank you.

Jessica Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 This forum is for help with code you wrote, not finding you tutorials. You won't create a good impression by saying you can do something that you have no idea how to do. By all means learn PHP, but you're not going to create a good finished product in 2 days when you don't know PHP. If your boss really asked you to do something you don't know how to do and gave you a deadline of TWO DAYS to create a web application, find a new job. Cause that's some crazy shit.

katloubee Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I told them I don't know PHP or how to use it, they asked me to TRY and create it. It's not a big deal, I'll look for tutorials on google, I just thought someone in this forum might know of some good ones.

Jessica Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 That's fine, I'm just saying 2 days is a very unrealistic deadline. When you get some code started and run into problems, post it here and we can help. Good luck.
