Hello--
I'm a web developer without enough expierence to modify some code in an "off the shelf" classified ad software package. I'm hoping somebody could help me acheive the following results. [teach would be better]
When a customer places an ad I want to charge them $5.00 for the first 10 words. Each additional word would be .20 cents. This would be in addition to any other charges that might apply, ie. images, attention getters, etc.
This would only be a billing plan, on the admin side of the program and billing plans are customizable through a drop down.
Thanks to a coder that unfortunately was going on vacation I have this additional information:
1) the page that contains the logic to calculate the totals fee can be found in this file "ad_step_3.php"
(this is a 390 lines long page without comments)
2) the coder should add an extra check to see if the special fee should be applied in this file
3) if the check is true then he can calculate the price using the variables
$ad_headline
$description
I've tried to hire someone to help me with this, without any luck. And I'm not looking for anybody to spend a lot of time on it, but if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks
