Form use on websites

[SAS]

Hi,

I'm creating a website where the user enters how much mileage a journey will take. They then select a van type from a drop down box and then from another drop down select type of delivery required. The end result will calculate the cost.

Mileage + van + delivery type = Result.

Question is, can this be done by old fashion forms or will I need to use a script (if so how hard would it be to code? )

It can be done with a bit of java script, or even in pearl, but assuming your server supports it, PHP is the way to go really.

If everything is well defined and you dont need to log anything, do it in plain old javascript. It's faster and more efficient than doing it via a serverside scripting language like php or perl.
