Hi,

I would like to create a calculator which can help parents when they calculate their student's school fees on our school's joomla web site. Ive attached our school's fee table. Is there anyone who can help me please?

Regards
 
This is not a coding site. If in the course of development problems arise, we can take a look at your code and help out.

What have you tried so far? Seems the first thing to do would be to build a form, if any input is required. Looking a the table I would suggest a drop down that has the grades with their costs. If more than one child can be added you can have buttons to allow this.

The discount can be applied once all children have been added.

Remove the tests for "bon" in both your for loops, and it should work as expected.

Whatever bon is supposed to be is I don't know, but it kills the for loops. So no calculations are ever made.
