    Default Need help creating dynamic form

    I guess I am just looking for some php help here more than anything. I want to
    know if it is possible to do the following things in php. I have a paper form
    that is for helping purchasers document thier procurment process. The form
    (currently paper based) allows the user to check line items. Each line has a
    'go to section X' if it is true. For example: A. VALUE OF PURCHASE ____
    THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE PURCHASE IS BETWEEN $2,000 AND $5,000 ? Go To ?B?
    ____ THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE PURCHASE IS BETWEEN $5,000 AND $25,000 ? Go To
    ?C? ____ THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE PURCHASE IS GREATER THAN $25,000 ? Go
    To ?D? B. THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE PURCHASE IS BETWEEN $2,000 AND $5,000
    ____ WRITTEN QUOTATIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM A MINIMUM OF 3 SUPPLIERS ? Go To ?E?
    ____ WRITTEN QUOTATIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM LESS THAN 3 SUPPLIERS ? Go To
    ?F? ____ SOLE SOURCING IS BEING RECOMMENDED ? Go To ?F? Now, I want to
    automate this form, and make it as easy for users as possible. What I would
    like to do it have the first question appear and have the user click one of the
    lines or a button corresponding with the correct answer and have the next
    answer automatically appear. At the end of the process I would like the
    answers to all be inserted as a record in a MySQL db and a results sheet show
    the results of the questionaire. Example: Form name and date created Created
    by <name> THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE PURCHASE IS BETWEEN $2,000 AND $5,000
    WRITTEN QUOTATIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM A MINIMUM OF 3 SUPPLIERS etc. etc Anyone
    have some ideas on the best way to acheive these results? Thanks millions for
    input!! :confused;

    Default Need help creating dynamic form

    OK, thought I could do this, but... I'm trying to replicate this dynamic
    pricefinder using HTML. Their site uses a form with pull-down menus. Changing
    the defaults on the menus changes the price under the menus and also the "PRICE
    MATRIX" at the bottom. Everything else is the same. Trouble is, all the
    resulting pages have the same file name! How can that be??? (i.e. clicking on
    the sidebar menu for "BROCHURES" brings up the page "brochures.html" and
    changing any of the menus brings up a new page called -- you guessed it --
    "brochures.html).

    I programmed a form that matches theirs and the menus do change when selected
    (though a dialog box comes up and says it can't find my html page). However,
    the menus are THE ONLY thing that changes (since it's the same html page!) I
    can't figure out HOW they or I get the PRICE and the PRICE MATRIX to change
    with the menu options!

    What am I not getting here? This pricefinder is pretty much the focal point of
    the whole site I'm creating, so not being able to figure this out is something
    of a problem!

    Please help! Thank you.
