    Thanks Esmi. I gave up and started afresh with a new sub domain.

    Yes I agree. Where do I find the password for the DB in phpmyadmin?

    Thank you a 1,000 times for your help, time, patience and perseverance yesterday. I was able to write out the instructions for my friend so she can create more sites easily.

    Hi Govpatel

    You make it sound so easy. I have spent all day on this and I need your help too.

    I created the DB. How do I assign the privileges?

    I did amend the config file to include database name
    database user
    password
    Db_host

    How do you run the install program? I type in the domain/wp-admin/install.php but nothing happens except a broken links message.

    Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Thank you Peter.
    Ok I am still lost. I have this code successfully working in a page:

    <html>
    <head><title>Bob’s Auto Parts</title></head>
    <body>
    <form action=”processorder.php” method=”post”>
    <table border=”0″>
    <tr bgcolor=”#cccccc”>
    <td width=”150″>Item</td>
    <td width=”15″>Quantity</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Tyres</td>
    <td align=”center”><input type=”text” name=”tireqty” size=”3″ />
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Oil</td>
    <td align=”center”><input type=”text” name=”oilqty” size=”3″ />
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Spark Plugs</td>
    <td align=”center”><input type=”text” name=”sparkqty” size=”3″/>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>How did you find Bob’s?</td>
    <td><select name=”find”>
    <option value = “a”>I’m a regular customer</option>
    <option value = “b”>TV advertising</option>
    <option value = “c”>Phone directory</option>
    <option value = “d”>Word of mouth</option>
    </select>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan=”2″ align=”center”><input type=”submit” value=”Submit Order” /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    I need to know about the next piece of code, which is the “processorder.php”,as to where I put it. Do I put it somewhere with the file manager or do I put it as part of the theme similar to the php for sidebars? You are suggesting that I put the two together which I tried without success.

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Bob’s Auto Parts – Order Results</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Bob’s Auto Parts</h1>
    <h2>Order Results</h2>
    <?php
    echo ‘<p>Order processed at ‘;
    echo date(‘H:i, jS F’);
    echo ‘</p>’;
    echo ‘<p>Your order is as follows: </p>’;
    echo $tireqty.’ tires
    ‘;
    echo $oilqty.’ bottles of oil
    ‘;
    echo $sparkqty.’ spark plugs
    ‘;

    $totalqty = 0;
    $totalamount = 0.00;

    $totalqty = 0;
    $totalqty = $tireqty + $oilqty + $sparkqty;
    echo ‘Items ordered: ‘.$totalqty.’
    ‘;

    $totalamount = 0.00;

    define(‘TIREPRICE’, 100);
    define(‘OILPRICE’, 10);
    define(‘SPARKPRICE’, 4);

    $totalamount = $tireqty * TIREPRICE
    + $oilqty * OILPRICE
    + $sparkqty * SPARKPRICE;

    echo ‘Subtotal: $’.number_format($totalamount,2).’
    ‘;

    $taxrate = 0.10; // local sales tax is 10%
    $totalamount = $totalamount * (1 + $taxrate);
    echo ‘Total including tax: $’.number_format($totalamount,2).’
    ‘;

    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    If I could get this going then I could work through my book on PHP, MuySQL using WP without having to set up some complicated testbed.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,

    Thank you for replying.
    I’ve been through that several times but it leaves me no further forward. I can write the code or copy it but what I don’t understand is that if I create an order form and have the code to process the order where do I put that file so the two work together. Can I put the order form as part of the theme?

    Regards,

    It looks good for a simple wordpress theme. Could you do something more advance such as adding an order form to the theme and more advanced still how to get the orders in a mysql database?

    I have reinstalled it at least twice last night and could not get into admin at all. This morning I got up, did a reinstall using Firefox browser instead of Safari and everything worked fine.

    Thank you for your help. It was an extra line in the wp-config.php file.
