Quotations...

Post by JZ »

Hi everyone...I am new to these PHP Forums so just bare wiv me :)

I am trying to find a script that will help me generate and instant quotation with a customised form for my companies website. I dont really know how to code PHP myself (although I do understand most of the functions), so I would need some help if it is a custom script...

Basically I want customers to be able to select options from a form (from combo boxes, option buttons and check boxes) and then a specific value be added to a total at the end. It is a quotation script that I am after so that when the form gets submitted it sends the details to a database and returns an instant quotation depending on the choices the customer has made.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if there is a PHP script out there. I dont really knwo the best places to look for a script like this so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
James

You should search first for a form generator (and that is a free html with some JS i think) :) that everything would be easy.

Because as i understand you want to mke that updates in real time (a box is checked then the total amount is increased/decreased) and this is a client side based (JS), not PHP.

After that you may think to validate through PHP (details received)

Noooo lol...

I have the form which currently takes users inputs and emails them to me. Thats all sorted and works fine. What I want to integrate now is some kind of submission form that takes the inputs and querys them in a database to get prices for each option. These prices are then added up and displayed to the user on the next page.

Its not a real-time update as you say...the form is submitted to a database and the results come back on the next page.

The only quotation calculators I can find are ASP and I dont have a windows host, which is y i wondered about PHP.

Can you help?
