We are trying to make a basic form for ordering fishing lures. This is what it looks like: http://www.actonhighschool.ca/12/order.php All we want it to do is have the user fill in the fields, and when they hit submit, the form it's mailed off. However, I don't know how to do the Quantity X Price + the GST and PST. It sounds simply enough but I've never done it. Perhaps someone knows of a tutorial? This is what I'm thinking.... I make the form into a basic calculator. So, they input the number of lures into a field and the price; the GST and PST will already be filled in the field (which I don't know how to do). Then they hit a button "Calculate" and the answer will go in the "total" field. Then there will be anothe button "submit" which mails the whole thing off to the site owner. Is that a good way of doing this? I'm just learning... so sorry for the newbie questions. Thanks!

Hi All, I'm a new teacher and my school has put me in Computer Science.  Many of you who have taken computer science courses in high school will express frustration with the teacher due to the fact that YOU know more than the teacher!!  :D  Anyhow, I don't want that to happen and I need your advice. I don't know much about php and MySQL.  All I know is I want to teach it to my kids so they will be ready.  I like the fact that it's event oriented and it's accessible online.  I would like to use php and mysql  with phpmyadmin. Can anyone help me with what they think a beginner student should learn?  I am thinking of an address book.  I just don't know how to get the php and mysql to shake hands.  Does anyone know of an online step by step course which is out there I could follow?  Thank you!

Hi all, I too am very new to .php (hours new).  Anyhow, all I want to do is test php scripts so I downloaded WAMP, installed it, turned off all the firewall etc. and then I typed in http://localhost and it just hung there - loaded and loaded and loaded ....  But then I tried http://127.0.0.1/ and the index.php site came up. First off - Why is this the case?  And when I try a script (ie. "Hello world" type thing) what should the string look like in the browser? Thanks!
