@NogDogNov 12.2004 — #Afraid I'm not entirely clear as to what the question is. From the example, it seems you are looking to take options [1] and [2] from the user, and then calculate the cost [3] and display all 3 items back to the user for confirmation.

Newbie needs HELP with form calc
Hello all!
I’m attempting to create a form with three drop selects (containing numerous options) which will return a specific rate and verify the options selected (e.g. “A yearly [1] [2] membership costs [3].”).
Although I’ve customized PHP/MySQL apps in the past (forums, shopping carts, etc.), I don’t yet know enough to script it “correctly.”
I’ve setup the MySQL database and have a PHP script which works when the first option is selected with the other two defined in the script. Obviously, this is not what I’m aiming for. I know a tight script can be written to do this.
If I supply more details, can any of you crack PHPers lend a hand? Greatly appreciated!
