One thing I'd like to see added to PHPRunner is the ability to add calculations on fields via a graphical interface, which would generate the javascript code automatically. I know that this can be done now with javascript manually, but for those of us who don't know javascript, it would be a great feature.
I currently use a software product called OneForm Designer Plus, which allows you to create web-based forms identical to a paper form you might use. You can then attach the form fields to a database for storage and retrieval. This software has the graphical calculation ability which works well.
For instance, suppose you wanted to have an invoice for which you'd save the data to the database, and could email a PDF copy to a customer. Mine has fields such as initial visit + additional time + other items minus discount = subtotal + sales tax (calulated automatically) = grand total. A graphical calulation tool which could create the code for this would be an excellent feature.
Great product! Roger.
