MjM8082 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Not asking someone to do this for me. Just looking for someone to help me get going, and show me how to do this. Need helping calculating text boxes on a form. I want my form to display the premium of $10,000 health insurance. What I mean by this is that I have a form that involves filling out life insurance information. This is the table I'm basing this off of... Age <=30 #health conditions <=2 $0.90 2 <= #health conditions <=5 $1.20 The number of health conditions is equivalent to the number of check boxes that were checked. Additionally, the following conditions apply: - Men are charged a 5% gender risk - Students receive an 8% discount For example, if you are a 23 year old male student who smokes but has no other risk factors your premium amount per $10,000 would be $0.90 * 1.05 * 0.92 = $0.8694. If you wanted to take out a $150,000 life insurance, your monthly premium would be $13.04 (15 * $0.8694). I'm new to php and haven't really calculated forms before... here is my form codes.... <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Lab 4</title> </head> <body> <?php ?> <form method="POST" action="lab4form.php"> <label for="first_name">First Name:</label> <input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" /><br /> <label for="last_name">Last Name:</label> <input type="text" id="last_name" name="last_name" /><br /> <label for="coverage_amount">Coverage Amount:</label> <input type="text" id="coverage_amount" name="coverage_amount" /><br /> <label for="gender">Gender:</label> <br> <input id="male" type="radio" value="Male" name="gender" /> <label for="male">Male</label> <input id="female" type="radio" value="Female" name="gender" /> <label for="female">Female</label> <br /> <br> <label for="Age">Age:</label> <input type="text" id="age" name="age" /><br /> <br> <label for="health">Health Conditions</label> <br /> <input type="checkbox" name="health" value="Heart Disease" /> <label for="health">Heart Disease</label><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="health" value="Diabetes" /> <label for="health">Diabetes</label><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="health" value="High Blood Pressure" /> <label for="health">High Blood Pressure</label><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="health" value="Smoker" /> <label for="health">Smoker</label><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="health" value="Lung Disease" /> <label for="health">Lung disease</label><br /> <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="lab4form.php"> <P>Employment Status<BR> <SELECT NAME="employment"> <OPTION VALUE="Unemployed">Unemployed <OPTION VALUE="Full-Time">Full-Time <OPTION VALUE="Part-Time">Part-Time <OPTION VALUE="Student">Student </SELECT><br /> <br> <label for="comments">Comments</label> <input type="text" id="comments" name="comments"/><br /> <br> <input type="submit" value="Add User" name="btn_add" /> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright67uk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Would you eventually be storing all of the users submitted details into a database such as mysql? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
