list and calculator

IZZO

Hello. I have only written a few very basic php pages nothing complex at all. So i need some help on how to do this.
I need a calculator/list script.

What I would like to do is take a value from radios and checkmarks and add them together and at the same time make a list

<input name="checkbox" value="1000" type="checkbox"><b>Multimedia</b></input>

<input name="group1" value="0" type="radio"><b>No Borders</b></input>
<input name="group1" value="50" type="radio"><b>Borders</b></input>

<input name="checkbox" value="2000" type="checkbox"><b>Equipped</b></input>

<input name="group2" value="0" type="radio"><b>No Borders</b></input>
<input name="group2" value="50" type="radio"><b>Borders</b></input>

So it would take the values and add it up but then also add the text by its side to a list

Multimedia
No Borders
Equipped
Borders

= 3050

Thank you to who ever takes the time to read this and help me.
Please explain what is being done in the script so that i can understand how it all works.
I have tried to find examples out there that i could learn from but i can't find anything that does something like this and i do not learn well from tutorials

First, on your html form, you need to give unique (and descriptive) names to your fields so you (and php) can tell the difference between them...

My form...
<form name="myform" action="calculate.php" method="post"> 
<input name="multimedia" value="1000" type="checkbox"><strong>Multimedia</strong></input><br /><br />

<input name="m_no_border" value="0" type="radio"><strong>No Borders</strong></input><br />
<input name="m_with_border" value="50" type="radio"><strong>Borders</strong></input><br /><br />

<input name="equipped" value="2000" type="checkbox"><strong>Equipped</strong></input><br /><br />

<input name="e_no_border" value="0" type="radio"><strong>No Borders</strong></input><br />
<input name="e_with_border" value="50" type="radio"><strong>Borders</strong></input><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Calculate" />
</form>

Then, where your action is...put the following php...

<?php
//post the variables here...
$multimedia=$_POST['multimedia'];
$m_no_border=$_POST['m_no_border'];
$m_with_border=$_POST['m_with_border'];
$equipped=$_POST['equipped'];
$e_no_border=$_POST['e_no_border'];
$e_with_border=$_POST['e_with_border'];
//now check if these exist and add them together
if ($multimedia=="")
{
$multimedia="0";
echo "Multimedia: $multimedia";
}else{echo"Multimedia: $multimedia";}
//you can follow this syntax to echo out as many of your values as you want...

//then to add, you simply put a + between variables -- since adding 0 won't hurt, just add them all...
$total=($multimedia + $m_no_border + $m_with_border + $equipped + $e_no_border + $e_with_border);
echo"<br>Total: $total<br>";
?>

...I'm a newbie too...just trying to help the community that helped me. I may not be giving you 100% of what you asked for, but this should get you on the right track...

Thanks!
The radios would need to keep in the same group sets tho.
i have been working on the math part also.
So far I'm just having trouble with arrays. I don't quite understand what i need to about them yet.
How do I collect the array data and make it so i can use it in the total.
The reason I'm trying to keep the checkmark names the same is because when I'm finished I will be using a lot of checkmarks and it would be easier to script if they where all the same.

<head>
<title>Calculator</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>Calculator</b>
<br>
<form name="form1" action = "send.php" OnClick="document.form1.submit();" method = "POST" target="frame">
<input name="checkbox[]" value="1000" type="checkbox"><b>Multimedia</b></input>
<BR>
<input name="group1" value="0" type="radio"><b>No Borders</b></input>
<input name="group1" value="50" type="radio"><b>Borders</b></input>
<br>
<input name="checkbox[]" value="2000" type="checkbox"><b>Equipped</b></input>
<br>
<input name="group2" value="0" type="radio"><b>No Borders</b></input>
<input name="group2" value="50" type="radio"><b>Borders</b></input>
</form>
<iframe name="frame" src ="" width="100%" height="100" frameborder=0>
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

</body>
</html>

form.php

$radio1 = $_POST['group1'];
$radio2 = $_POST['group2'];

//How do you make this usable
//foreach($_POST['checkbox'] as $key=>$value)
//  echo $key.' '.$value;

$total = $radio1 + $radio2;

After all that i need to figure out a way to make it so i can have it add them in to a list. That's the part i don't know how to do at all yet. Going to be doing some searching for something similar to try to learn from tho.
