justsomeguy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 All it is is addition, right? If you have a list of things they select with amounts, then don't you just get the amounts and total them up? Do you have any code already written for the page where they choose things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any code already written for the page where they choose things?well its for a carpentry company so the first input would be maybe square foot or metres the next would be the type of laminate or hardwood with a different price tier depending on type they select, the next would be their area code which would also have a price added and so on, so yeah it is sort of just addition but all selections or inputs are dependant on each other so thats weher my head goes abit fuzzy lolbasically i need the following to obtain a quotetype of service ie staircase or doors hung or floor fittedsquare foot (if applicable) - price per square footmaterial - cheaper materials=higher labour costtype - supply costpostcode - further away the higher the surchargepersonal details etcfrom there i want the quote to be sent to my clients email and also their customers email for further actionis this just modifying a calculator script with email included or is it more advanced than that?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The only thing that's going to be difficult is determing the distance. You'll need to do some research to figure out how to calculate the distance between two area codes. Other then that, everything else is just rules that you apply to the calculation.
