I am developing an application that will require a set of formulas to calculate measurements. We take information from measurers and based on that with some formulas calculate how much material is needed. We have a Product Series and each Series has 3-4 Product Lines. . The formula to calculate the measurements varies from line to line, so I need to have 16 standard formulas like: TopMeasurment+1.6875+OutOfPlumbWall The TopMeasurement and OutOfPlumbWall are decimal numbers entered in a separate screen (from the measurers information) and will be stored in a table. The 1.6875 can vary from job to job. I need to give the people doing the entry the flexibility to change the formula. This is a simple example and only has one "variable" (though mostly it is static). Other formulas have 10 and 12 "variables" in them. How have others gone about storing formulas that require such modifications? TIA, Mike Smith -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
