Collecting data from html file

[kopuk1234]

Hi, every one, this is the first time I am using this and any other form and I am also new in Web Design Technologies but usualy quite good in Designing a Web Page or Site if I really need to.

And I was wondering if any one can help me with any ideas on how to send data "Value in money" from a html web page using a text box and a button and calculate, store and disply, value on a table as customer_ID and value entered in the tex box and calculate and store every time data send from text box as if I wanted to know how much customer paid me sofar.

I have verry litle knowledge of sql, php but can cope with what I read.

If I get started with this litle informatin, then I am looking to beable to build a web aplication with more of customer details and and payment history, like dates, over due, pre paymens and so on.

Thanks for your patients.

Hi Muyo, welcome to Bytes. I don't think that providing a script for you will really help, but instead you will need to spend some time learning PHP and MySQL to achieve what you want.
PHP can deal with form submissions and organize them to be put into a database (eg. MySQL). When I first started I got all the basics from tizag.com which was simple enough to understand, and complete enough to start doing things. I suggest going through their PHP and MySQL tutorials and even the HTML forms tutorial to get your skills up a bit.

Hi there, thank you for your reply, you are very right the best thing to do is learn more, but due to English is not my mother language I am havin big problems understanding a lot of the stuff in developing, it becomes more like improving my English rader than designing a web page or writing a program. But still I read learn and try but again, most of the time I learn other stuff I am never going to use, there for I tought I start straight from the subject and work my way bit up and bit down, instead of learning every thing else before I reach the project whats in my mind.
Thanks

No worries. I do recommend you do get the basics, and tizag tutorials are basic. Once you have done those, you can try and make your project and then post here when you are stuck or can't get code to work.

At Bytes, we mainly help people with code they are struggling with, and do not write large scripts for people very often. But let us know how you go, I suspect if you read through them and try a few things, within a month you will have a crude version of your program ready.
