PHP area calculation

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 19.2010

Hi there

Im trying to write some PHP code for my company in order to calculate the cost of a product.

We sell security gates and grilles, In order to provide a customer “quick quote”, I want the customer to select which type(s) of product they require from a drop down box (which will set the price per SQ mtr) and then input in the width X height dimensions and get a total at the bottom.

For instance:

[Option 1] = 16mm Fixed Security Bars = £80.70 SQ Mtr
[Option 2] = Diamond Mesh Grille = £51.11 SQ Mtr

What I need to calculate is this:

[Option 1] Width x Height x £80.70 +VAT x 2 = [Product Price]

[Option 2] Width x Height x £51.11 +VAT x 2 = [Product Price]

[Option….. So on]

[TOTAL]

Possibly email them and us the quote details.

Does anyone know of a script which does this or similar, or anyone interested in writing some code ?

I appreciate this is not something simple, for me anyway.

Kind Regards

Chris

@HampsterFeb 22.2010 — This sound simple enough to do in javascript. The "quick quote" to be done within the web page, and not e-mailed.

Just a suggestion.

@ericatekkaFeb 22.2010 — Enjoy my dirty code i wrote from you. I would not put this on the web but its a start:
[code=php]<?php

if(isset($_POST['quoter'])){

$email = $_POST['email'];
$type = $_POST['type'];
$hie = $_POST['hie'];
$wid = $_POST['wid'];

if($type == '16mm_Fixed_Security_Bars'){
$cost = 80.70;
}elseif($type == 'Diamond_Mesh_Grille'){
$cost = 51.11;
}

$tot = $hie * $wid * $cost;

$mailer = 'Total Cost for $type is $ $tot';

mail($email,'Quote for Metals',$mailer);


}

?>

<option value='Diamond_Mesh_Grille'>Diamond Mesh Grille</option>
</select></td>

<td><input type="text" TABINDEX="1" name="wid" size="20"></td>
