New to PHP... can this be done?

    Hi all,

    I don't really know much (anything!) about PHP or scripting or any of that sort of web stuff. I'm willing to pay someone to do some things for me but I don't even know if it's possible or what to ask for... or where to ask it. So that's where DP comes in to save the day, as it usually seems to!

    I've created a very rough example page: http://www.travoholic.com/example.php

    I will provide the values for the first two columns. I want the user to select a country from the drop down list. When they do that, I want to have whatever the current exchange rate for that country to £ is to be multipled by all of the numbers in column 2 (price) and then show a figure in the 3rd column (conversion).

    The whole thing depends on being able to pull the current currency conversion rate from somewhere to multiply it with the numbers in teh 2nd column to get the final conversion.

    Is this possible? I won't be able to do this myself so if it is possible, I'd appreciate some suggestions for sites where I can find someone to do it for me and pay them. Or if someone on here can pull it off, even better! Just PM me.

    Thanks for any help, even if you just tell me it can't be done.

    Cheers,
    Kirsty

    easy...javascript will be used, not php. thats unless you want the page to be reloaded. if you want it to happen live js/ajax needs to be used
