PC Buider Script

[comtek]

Newb here. Does anyone know of, or have examples of a PC Buider script that will update the price in real time as different components are selected? Is this a complex script to code? What would the main statements be in a sript like this? Are there any GPL/Open Source scripts out there? I would like to write one myself if it is not too complicated or at least customize an existing one so I can learn something in the process.

Thanks

pretty simple really. store all the components in a database with a component_id, description and price. fetch all the components from the db then use HTML forms to allow the users to add/remove components. store each added component in a session and total up all of the individual component prices.

it is the same basic idea as a shopping cart. check out hotscripts.com for shopping cart scripts.

Thanks for the point in the right direction. Not that I have gotten into it the basics are actually pretty easy. I am sure I'll have more questions as I make changes. Thanks again.
