PHP script

Zambini · November 11th, 2006

I want to make a simple php page where I can calculate stuff for Eve-Online.

Pretty much this spreadsheet but in a PHP script.

I was thinking of using it like This

Can anyone explain to me how to do this?

I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to PHP and scripts....Josh (Yuri) might be a good place to start, and you might hit up Neo-Angelo and MantaBase...they might have some ideas

Basically what you're looking at is a simple bit of math. It'll look something like this:

index.html

Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Calc
  </title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <form action="calc.php" method="POST">
   <input type="text" name="amount" value="Amount of Ore" onFocus="if (value=='Amount of Ore') { value=''; style.color='#000000' }" onBlur="if (value=='') {value='Amount of Ore'; style.color='#888888'; }" style="color:#88888">
   <input type="text" name="price" value="Price per Ore" onFocus="if (value=='Price per Ore') { value=''; style.color='#000000' }" onBlur="if (value=='') {value=Price per Ore'; style.color='#888888'; }" style="color:#88888">
   <input type="submit" value="Calculate">
  </form>
 </body>
</html>

calc.php

Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Calc
  </title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <?php
   print 'Total price: '.POST["amount"]*POST["price"];
 </body>
</html>

I do that but then it returns with this.

And I want them to be on the same page as well, can I do that somehow?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/zambinid/public_html/files/eveonline/calc.php on line 9

Yeah, I made a couple mistakes when I first wrote it (I forget the $_ before the POST variables and I forgot to end the php tag.. my bad). Here's a one page version of it, though I'd recommend using JavaScript for something this simple.

index.php

Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Calc
  </title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <form action="index.php" method="POST">
   <input type="text" name="amount" value="Amount of Ore" onFocus="if (value=='Amount of Ore') { value=''; style.color='#000000' }" onBlur="if (value=='') {value='Amount of Ore'; style.color='#888888'; }" style="color:#88888">
   <input type="text" name="price" value="Price per Ore" onFocus="if (value=='Price per Ore') { value=''; style.color='#000000' }" onBlur="if (value=='') {value='Price per Ore'; style.color='#888888'; }" style="color:#88888">
   <input type="submit" value="Calculate">
  </form>
  <?php
   if (isset($_POST["amount"]) && isset($_POST["price"]))
   {
    print 'Total price: '.($_POST["amount"] * $_POST["price"]);
   }
  ?>
 </body>
</html>

Here's the JavaScript version:

index.html

Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Calc
  </title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <input type="text" id="amount" value="Amount of Ore" onFocus="if (value=='Amount of Ore') { value=''; style.color='#000000' }" onBlur="if (value=='') {value='Amount of Ore'; style.color='#888888'; }" style="color:#88888">
  <input type="text" id="price" value="Price per Ore" onFocus="if (value=='Price per Ore') { value=''; style.color='#000000' }" onBlur="if (value=='') {value='Price per Ore'; style.color='#888888'; }" style="color:#88888">
  <input type="button" value="Calculate" onClick="document.getElementById('div_out').innerHTML='Total price: $'+document.getElementById('amount').value*document.getElementById('price').value">
  <div id="div_out"></div>
 </body>
</html>

hmm.. it works, but it seems too complicated to do effectively, is there a way I can make it into an interactive XML?
Here is what it can be saved as an XML, but it doesnt offer any interactivity, and neither does the html file. I can enable "interactivity" but it only saves it as this crappy page and thats just lame. Is there a way to use the XML as an interactive page?

Thanks for your help, though =)

There is, though I've never spent much time with XML. PC__MAX knows how to do XML rather well. You should shoot him a PM.

[edit] errrm... whats his username?

yurimxpxman · November 11th, 2006

Zambini · November 11th, 2006
