Calculator Form?? Not a request
 
Hi,

I am looking toward making a self-calculating form for my company. I am well versed in computers and have prior php and basic experience but need some tips and advice.

The program needs to do the following:

> Calculate building house A with Complexity B using materials #42 and be based on squarefoot for example. Simple quote calculations.

> Has to run cross platform. Must run on Windows and linux.

> Must be graphical.

> Should auto-calculate all info and put it together.

------------------------------------------

My question is what is a nice and easy programming language or tool I can use to achieve this? I had some experience in VisualBasic 5/6 but that was mostly limited to tutorials.

Anybody know of a tool that can help me on this quest? Forums?

I would like to preferable use all opensource/freeware tools.

Well perl or php should both work fine.

If you want a gui then they both have Gtk extensions which should be portable across most systems.

Any one know of any tutorials for something like this??

Thanks,
Dimitriy

Assuming you want to use php since you know it already:
