1.) This isn't really maths based. If the addition of two variables were counted as maths based programming, then every topic would be here

2.) There's absolutely no need to bump a topic after one hour - it was probably still the first topic anyway!

3.) You've shown us your HTML code - do you have any PHP code as well? Or as you asking someone to do this for you?

 

If you do have some knowledge of PHP, then this tutorial on form processing may be of use to you:

this is part of my php...

 

if ($_POST['submit'] == "Calculate")

{

$basic = $_POST['basic'];

$allowance = $_POST['allowance'];

 

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());

    mysql_select_db("SLIP") or die (mysql_error());

sql="SELECT basic+allowance AS salary FROM try";

          $result_update = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result_update);

}

 

is it ok? actually i'm not really good in php but i want to try to do it... can u help me?

i wish to do a simple calculation... which is.... basic+allowance=salary... and send it to the database (SLIP)

What do you actually wish to do with the data? At the moment, the query you're trying to do doesn't make much sense.

 

Do you want to update an existing row with some data? Or just create a new row?
