公式计算器表格[已结束]

Question

I am looking to build a simple one-field form that will take the number entered and run it through a formula and display the result underneath on a webpage for a school project. Similar to a paypal fee calculator. NO more, no less.

I can handle HTML, CSS, JS, but am pretty PHP-tarded.

Is there something I can read to learn how to go about this? I tried searching but am not sure exactly what I should be searching for.

Thanks

Answer 1

Name the field that you are entering, i.e.

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
    <input type="text" name="value" value="">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
$value=$_POST['value'];
if ($value!=""){
    //RUN FORMULA HERE:
    $total=$value * 1.02;
    echo $total;
}
?>

Using this method will allow you to continue entering numbers until you are done.
