Can I do this with PHP?

[roblock81]

Hello all! I am new to the forums and to PHP. Here is what I am attempting to do.

To make it simple I want to create a form that will help customers select the proper computer system that I have available. I have 4 pre configured systems total that they can choose from.

With the form I want it to have 5 questions. With each question having some answers in a pull down menu. Now depending on the answer for each question The resulting page will show the correct system for them...

I understand how to create the form, but am a little unsure on how to handle the logic behind it. If I need to clarify what I want to do more just let me know 🙂

Many ways to achieve what you request: You could have user complete the form and redirect. You could also have user answer questions and fire ajax requests to change the form and bring pc results back.

Create a point system... each question and it's answers are worth points. For example:

//Q1
$a1 = 5;
$b1 = 2;
$c1 = 1;

//Q1
$a2 = 1;
$b2 = 3;
$c2 = 1;

//add up all questions
$total = $c1+$b2;

// person selected c1 and b2 for a total of 4

if($total < 4){

header("Location: pc1.php");

} else if($total == 5){

header("Location: pc2.php");

} else {

header("Location: pc3.php");

}
