I created one form that has 1 price option for a tour. Customer chooses number of people going and the price is multiplied correctly when it goes to PayPal.. Yea!

The second form is much more complicated and I'm having "empty brain syndrome". I can't figure out which and how to set up the options so what I do now is stare at the page hoping lightning will strike.

It's for bike rentals. Rent a bike cruiser....1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or Full Day. All have different prices. Then the customer chooses how many will be needed.. I can't figure out how to make the values correct.

Here's an example..
Customer party wants to rent a bike cruiser for 2 hours. Then 2 bikes are needed. at the 2 hour rate per person.
3rd person in same party decides to rent a hybrid bike for same 2 hours (at different rate) and only needs 1 bike.

I'm thinking the form will be a form total option because there are several different bikes to choose from. All with different prices for time.

Help..I'm in dead space.

Drop the number of people because the number of people is going to equal the number of bikes unless you have bikes built for two or there's somebody from the circus renting that can ride two at a time.

Of course..that makes sense.. however.. still having a hard time:
Here is the link: http://islandbicyclecompany.com/bikeren … sform.html

I made the 1st select option on all a "price input" field with the first one being 0.00 so that it didnt add every item. I took out the
(number of bikes required) as you suggested and am going to put a "how many in party" field at the bottom. Now what.. not every field is a "price input" and then there are the tandem and two surreys which only 1 in a party is needed usually since it holds more. I want it to add up the amount depending on what time is being rented..x the number of vehicles but then again, there are different prices for different bikes ..... Everything has to be added up correctly in PayPal...

I did a similar thing with campsite rentals and had no problem.. Don't know what 's wrong with me on this one.

On another thread, and I'm sure Eric can find it, he showed a user how to ADD/MULTIPLY 2 fields on the form to get a total. You'll have to edit the code.

What you do is have a drop down field asking "What type of bike do you wish to rent?" Have your drop down entries (Cruiser Bike and Hybrid Bike, or whatever)

The next field is a price multiplier (number field) that asks (How many bikes @ $10/hour) or whatever your price is.

The next field is a number field "How many hours will you need the bike(s) ?"

I made a sample form and used 33% for fields so all 3 fields showed on the same line.

The next field is a yes/no radio button "Do you wish to rent more bikes?"

If no then use Eric's code to multiply the total from the bikes@$10/hour by number of bikes and display the Submit button on condition of this field not equal to 'empty'.

If yes, than have similar fields for the 'hybrid' bike.

The only thing I don't have is Eric's code to add/multiply the various fields. But if you can get this, then this format should work. You really don't need the number of customers as this should equal the number of bikes rented.

Hope this all makes sense.

Just found, I think this is his code: http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/welcome/caculation-field/
