i have a excel spreadsheet that has a basic - input one amount in column A then it adds column A to Column C to give Col D results. Well thats the rough idea.,

to basically a field comes from a mysql database then need to start the equation ( the field from the DB would be COL A)

what is the best way to do this?

If the user is simply going to enter a single value and get the results, I would use php. If it's going to be more interactive - like they may try lots of different values, then javascript will provide a better user experience.

3) How to add or perform other mathematical operations on two variables in a php script is the part and maybe i am over complicating it. but the math side of it i dont know


Jon, what mathematical operation do you want to perform? Can you just type out the expression for us? Just use x and y to represent the data the user enters and the data from the database.
