Hi,

I have a working calculator in Microsoft Excel that I need scripted into Javascript. This needs to be compatible with the current javascript calculations on the site, a MySQL database, and PHP to kick back to email.

I would prefer somebody very experienced that has done this before and can prove their capabilities - this is a pretty highly complex calculator.

If you can do this please send me a PM and we can talk details and pricing.
 


Make sure you don't trust the javascript calculations. They are fine for displaying onsite, but your server should calculate them for email / mysql dumping.
 
^ thanks, got that covered.

I'm now exploring other options for this VERY complex calculator and adding a shopping cart. The majority of the calculator is already built in javascript and php but needs some additions and then integration with a rolling cart.

Ready to talk prices and outsource this job if anyone has the skill level.
 
mega bump

I know there aren't many good programmers on these forums.. but really? Nobody wants to even quote me a ridiculous price to have this done?
 
Broland: Things like this are complex to price because we have no idea how long this might take to program. Most good programmers have very little free time as it is and the free time we have we spend it taking a break from looking at lines of code. You should probably provide a little more information.

I would if I was you, have javascript only make an ajax call and do all the calculation in PHP so it's exact. Just my 2 cents on the matter.
 
fck odesk.


I've got all the details and all kinds of more info but I'll discuss that with ppl interested in the job. We can do this ourselves, but it's time consuming and a pain so I would rather outsource to someone who has done this before and can do it faster/cheaper.
 
Why don't you do this server-side then load it in with AJAX? That way all calculations can be done by the server which means you'll have better accuracy, can do better logging etc, and it will also be lighter for the browser. Obviously I don't know all of the details so I could be off with that suggestion.

PM me if you are still looking for someone.
 
in the past when i needed a calculator i would start by copying a mortgage calculator or child support calculator from another website and then modify it.
