HI, im very new to PHP and pretty much no nothing about it. I’m just trying to make a simple page that can calculate prices for me. Something that has drop down menus and check boxs and then it will give you a price. Any help or direction will be helpful. Thanks

you might want to check out javascript for that…

Javascript can do it all on the Client side without having to send the user to a new page.
