I have a form that will insert a record into the database.

I would like to add all the fields that have a dollar value and total them below when the focus is taken off the fields.

This way the total can be seen before it is inserted into the database.

It is a web based estitmate maker that I'm trying to create - not a shopping cart.

I have seen this done with javascript but i'm not sure if it can be done in php.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It can be done in PHP, but not in the way you wish. If you want immediate changes to occur within a page without the page resubmitting, or if you want to trap the onBlur() event, such as when the focus leaves a text field, then you will need to use JavaScript. There just isn't any other way.
