Quoting for website designs and you can't yet do something as simple as this :rolleyes:

well, im a web designer not a php programmer, yet.. thanks for the help anyway,regards.

ElectricRain

Ok php can do math, so what I think you need to do, is asign a numerical value to each option val, instead of a text value, so for instance, if you were going to charge £50 for a flash element, instead of

<option value="element">Flash Element</option>

You would have

<option value="50">Flash Element</option>

Arite. THEN on the page you post your form TO youll need something like this

<?php

$pages = $_POST['pages']; 
$flash = $_POST['flash'];
$hosting = $_POST['hosting'];
// etc etc - youll need to add a variable for every select box you have in your form 

//then add them all up
$cost = $pages + $flash + $hosting;

echo "£$cost.00";

?>

I hope that helps some.
