Can PHP Runner be used to create a PHP Calculator?

Sure. Let us know more info about the requirements.

Though you can build it in PHPRunner you still need to code all the logic behind it manually. Which means you can have better luck creating a simple calculator page manually. Find one of existing calculator examples on the net and adjust it according to your needs.

Except this is no ordinary calculator. It requires the user to input a lot of data and options - it's more like an amortization table than a calculator.

It's for Federal Life Insurance. My attempts at a non-database approach have failed, so now I am looking to do it utilizing a database to capture the data

and then figure out how to calculate and display the results in a grid-like fashion - and it has to be online and part of a website.
Can it be done?
Mike

Sure, this can be done though I don't see how PHPRunner can help there. Sure you can adjust one pages adding server-side and client side events but you will end up overwriting all built-in PHPRunner functionality with your own code.

OK. I will use something else.
Thanks for the warnings.

I like using PHP Runner.
Question: Can a Life Insurance calculator be created with it?
quoting excerpt out of http://www.dbycm.com/scripts-iq.htm
INSURANCE QUOTERS: The stand-alone, as-is version of the InstaQuote PHP Script will NOT work for insurance quoters. Insurance quoters require expert skill level using PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML, CSS and Graphic Design. If you would like an insurance quoter, we custom-build them for web sites and the starting price is $600, as a back-end MySQL database with an administration area is required. The $600 base price increases depending on the level of difficulty of the insurance quoter. If you would like a custom-built insurance quoter, please visit this page to obtain a custom-build cost for us to prepare one for your web site.
