Body
I have a simple calculator form which asks for basic budget information. User Name, Paycheck 1 amount, Paycheck 2 amount, rent, utilities..... Somehow I need to calculate all the expense fields individually as a percentage of the total income. I'm just not sure how to do this. I have gone through a ton of tutorials and none of them worked even with the source files. Here's my processing php. Sure could use a push in the right direction. Thanks! <pre><code> <?php if ($_POST['sum1'] == "yes") { $name = $_POST['name']; $month = $_POST['month']; $year = $_POST['year']; $pay1 = $_POST['pay1']; $pay2 = $_POST['pay2']; $other1 = $_POST['other1']; $other2 = $_POST['other2']; $rent = $_POST['rent']; $repair = $_POST['repair']; $utility = $_POST['utility']; $invest = $_POST['invest']; $insure = $_POST['insure']; $groceries = $_POST['groceries']; $student = $_POST['student']; $travel = $_POST['travel']; $ccard1 = $_POST['ccard1']; $ccard2= $_POST['ccard2']; $cell = $_POST['cell']; $cable = $_POST['cable']; $misc1 = $_POST['misc1']; $misc2 = $_POST['misc2']; $ttl_inc = $pay1+$pay2+$other1+$other2; $ttl_exp = $rent+$repair+$utility+$invest+$insure+$travel+$ccard1+$ccard2+$cell+$cable+$misc1+$misc2+$student+$groceries; $total = $pay1+$pay2+$other1+$other2-$rent-$repair-$utility-$invest-$insure-$travel-$ccard1-$ccard2-$cell-$cable-$misc1-$misc2-$student-$groceries; echo "<h2>Budget Recap Prepared For {$name} For Period: {$month} {$year}</h2> "; echo " "; echo "<h3>Income</h3> "; echo " "; echo "Pay Period 1: $ {$pay1} "; echo "Pay Period 2: $ {$pay2} "; echo "Other Income 1: $ {$other1} "; echo "Other Income 2: $ {$other2} "; echo "TOTAL INCOME: $ {$ttl_inc} "; echo " "; echo "<h3>Expenses</h3> "; echo " "; echo "Rent: $ {$rent} "; echo "Utilities: $ {$utility} "; echo "Groceries: $ {$groceries} "; echo "Insurance: $ {$insure} "; echo "Credit Card 1: $ {$ccard1} "; echo "Credit Card 2: $ {$ccard2} "; echo "Repairs/Maintenance: $ {$repair} "; echo "Savings/Investments: $ {$invest} "; echo "Student Loans: $ {$student} "; echo "Transportation: $ {$travel} "; echo "Cell/Mobile Phone: $ {$cell} "; echo "Cable/Internet/Other: $ {$cable} "; echo "Other Expenses 1: $ {$misc1} "; echo "Other Expenses 2: $ {$misc2} "; echo "TOTAL EXPENSES: $ - {$ttl_exp} "; echo " "; echo "NET INCOME FOR {$month} {$year} : $ {$total} "; } ?> </code></pre>

1. COIt's simple basic (real life) math. Add them all up then divide by 100. "Percent" is made of 2 words: `per` and `cent`. `Cent` being hundred in latin.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
